Here are a couple of excerpts from Reviews of Morbid Myths:

The artwork was well paced and brought out the emotions that each
character was experiencing. As far as the Job the narrator goes, he ranks right up there with The Crypt Keeper.
- Gary Rodrigue (Comicnews.info)

There was some really sharp monochrome artwork in this issue. If this
team will be on-board for the duration of the series, it'll have a very quality look to back any future content.
- 3 star review by Alex Haas (Indycomicreview.com)

...could easily fit in between the worlds of Army of Darkness and
Shaun of the Dead... (Morbid Myths #1) Mixing a smartly dark sense of humor with absurd curiosity... (Morbid Myths #2)
- C Zuga (Skullring.org)

The characters immediately draw you in. They may be weird but they
definitely are likable. You'll find yourself instantly caring about them.
- 5 star review by Richard Vasseur (Jazmaonline.com)

...a richly etched-out and stunningly well-inked ongoing series...
- Wizard Comics Magazine (Top 40 Indie Must-Reads of 2007)

The art by Dwayne Biddix is cool, indie realistic black and white stuff but he really does make the story flow along, keeping your attention page by page.
- 8/10 review by Iann Robinson (Former MTV VJ)

Morbid Myths is lighter than most EC comics, and takes itself less
seriously than The Twilight Zone ever did, and because of its tone, and lack of pretension, ends up being more enjoyable, as if it isn't a comic anthology at all but a series of well known urban myths being told around a camp fire.
- 3 star review by Josh Buchin (Silverbulletcomics.com)

Overall, Morbid Myths is a great effort with great art, good pacing a good horror comic host — and some good stories.
- T.E. Pouncy (Geeksofdoom.com)

While neither of these stories are necessarily (in my jaded opinion)
"scary" in that "sends you screaming from your bed at night" sense, they do get under your skin and lay into you with a vague disquiet.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's good horror storytelling.
- 4 star review by Alex Haas (Indycomicreview.com)

This is a MUST ORDER book if ever there were one.

[spaghettikiss]

this book is clever and well drawn. It also has one of my favorite story concepts EVER...I mean that (i think its originally from issue one, with the librarians who hunt down dark books used by evil people) ORDER ORDER ORDER!!!

[Hard Way Studios]

I think everyone will enjoy vol. 2 as it marks the return of the "Library Crew" make a comeback in a big way!
