Praise for MOTRO
"With its lyrical script and beautiful artwork, MOTRO #1 is a powerful and confident debut for Oni Press' latest series. [...] With its recognizable influences and gleeful transmutation of them, MOTRO #1 is sure to capture both the hearts, minds, and imaginations of fans everywhere." Newsarama
"A wonderfully weird and deeply heartfelt tale that drops you into a place you never knew existed, but will only want to learn more about. If you like fables, fairy tales, and stories that feel entirely new, you gotta read this." AIPT!
"If Fist of the North Star had a baby with Mad Max that then grew up watching Adventure Time, you would get something like MOTRO from Oni Press. [...] MOTRO #1 is a short but sweet issue, and a tight start to a series. [...] fans of Andrew MacLean or Brandon Graham should certainly check out MOTRO." Pop-Break
"From its Mad Max inspired band of marauders, to its beautiful and lonely vistas that invoke both MŒbius and Miyazaki, MOTRO is a dreamlike mash up of writer and artist Ulises Fariñas' unique pop culture-infused subconscious." DoomRocket
"MOTRO is by far one of Oni Press' best titles being released, and I'm excited to read more." Comic Bastards
"[...] what you get with MOTRO is an ultra original, highly imaginative and inventive story. [...] It is a wild ride, and a great use of everything good about comic books." All-Comic
"In creating an odd and unique world, where childhood fancy mixes with the harsh reality of the real world and the even harsher fantasy of an apparent dystopian world, MOTRO sets itself apart from most other books." Comics the Gathering
