Heroes in Crisis Reviews

Heroes in Crisis is a fresh look at the normalization of hypermasculinity, which leaves no room for emotional vulnerability. -Newsweek

Dives into the far-reaching effects of post-traumatic stress disorder, all through the lens of a superhero comic. -Inverse

The nuanced look at characters both iconic and obscure adds an even greater sense of richness to this story. -IGN

Hooked us in from the first few pages. -Nerdist

Treats death like what it is-tragedy. -Polygon

Mythological and grandiose. -io9

It's a gut punch for readers and Wally's fellow heroes alike. -SyFy Wire

Clay Mann's art and Tomeu Morey's colors are enthralling, and the warm, September afternoon feeling of the book only adds to the overall sense of dread. -Den of Geek

Absolutely compelling. -Black Nerd Problems

Writer Tom King weaves a tense whodunnit into a sometimes controversial plotline that examines
the psychological turmoil beneath the costume, from PTSD to addiction. -The Ringer

An underlying story about emotional pain and trauma among superheroes...a story of heroic, larger than life characters who must also deal with the very real fallout of post-traumatic stress disorder in the wake of the brutal circumstances surrounding their adventures. -Publishers Weekly
