What people are saying:
"You don't need the likes of me to tell you to buy a comic book about apes with machines guns. They're APES, for God's sake. With MACHINE GUNS!" Jackson Publick, creator of [adult swim]'s The Venture Bros.
10 OUT OF 10 REVIEW: "Guerillas is a treatise on masterful cartooning and expressive storytelling." Newsarama, "Best Shots Reviews"
8.5 OUT OF 10 REVIEW: "It's a fascinating series with some beautiful art. An entertaining comic that makes you think and to me that's a buy." Graphic Policy
"Revel's story provides a mix of both action movie combat and meditations on the horrors of war [...] The story succeeds because of the emotion he's able to evoke from the chimpanzees through facial expressions, hand gestures, and grunts alone." Publishers Weekly
"The chimp corps takes this war comic to a wilder and more interesting place. [...] Brahm's gritty blacks and grays suit this enjoyable and socially relevant read, and the narrative addresses plenty of real war horrors and the doomed futility of the entire Vietnam misadventure. This will mesmerize fans of war comics and action stories." Library Journal
"Every once in a while you come across a book that makes you think "holy cow, that's a fantastic idea." Then you read the book and it is a story that is so well beyond what your expectations of the book were that you are absolutely blown away it. GUERILLAS is such a book." Ain't It Cool News
