Praise for STUMPTOWN
"[Stumptown] has the right amount of murky tension in Ryan Hill's colors and Justin Greenwood's lines to go along with Greg Rucka's sardonic dialogue about its incredibly weird case. But the comic takes an unexpected turn in a way that is cleverly set up in the opening pages that plunges the plot into pure darkness Portland-style." The Rainbow Hub
"[...] what color adds to this book is significant. Ryan Hill is doing here what colourists do best: adding texture and layers to story in a book in a way that doesn't distract you from the actual narrative." Comics Bulletin
"Stumptown is your favorite Rockford Files private detective story in comics form that you may or may not be reading! [...] The Case of the Cup of Joe was one of the funniest crime comics and of a lighter tone than the previous volumes." Forces of Geek
