  You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

  The intensity of the story is beginning to reach its crescendo as Milton’s heading off on his way to be taken out of the war zone. It’s been a long journey thus far. Remender’s delivered considerable intricacy into hs look at the human toll of war and the general loss of humanity in the face of the brutality. There’s no easy way to wrap something like this up without feeling the heavy presence of the emotional reverberations of everything that’s gone on. No happy ending here unless Remender decides to completel betray everything tha he’s built in the first eight issues of the series. Read Full Review

  AIPT - David Brooke

  Escape #8 is another remarkable entry in a series that continues to exceed expectations. Remender refuses to let Milton's story settle into familiar war comic territory, instead focusing on the lingering consequences of sacrifice, survival, and guilt. Every decision feels meaningful, and every victory carries a cost. Acuña matches that emotional depth with some of the most effective visual storytelling in comics today, creating scenes that are both beautiful and nerve-wracking. The result is a comic that keeps readers locked in from beginning to end while reinforcing why Escape deserves to be considered among the strongest ongoing series on shelves today. Read Full Review
