“Some may see the events of Sports is Hell as too on the nose, but considering that anything can happen these days, the comic is an engaging read. I finished it in one eager sitting. It is a possible, if however uncomfortable and fantastic, what if.”
“Amid the story’s chaos and the exhausting noise of politics today, Sports Is Hell provides an unexpected clarity on the complex schisms of modern American culture while serving up a ton of laughs.”
“A lacerating, darkly hilarious howl against racism, sports fandom, and tribalism in general by an artist with a distinct and necessary vision.”
“A dead-on parody of the good-and-evil, triumph-and-tragedy narratives fostered by organized sports.”
