Praise for King in Limbo Omnibus 1 (Vol. 1-2)

"It's set in the future, but I felt a strange notsalgia for the past reading it. The fashion is all '80-'90s American, and the finely-detailed art made me remember with unease the fiction of that time. This strange attraction kept me turning the pages... Will the series retrace the world that is gone, or will it head for some completely new horizon? I look forward to finding out." -Amazon Japan review

"Please make this into a Hollywood movie! I want to see King and Adam in action! Not Japanese! A Hollywood movie!" -Amazon Japan review
