Praise for Red Before Black

"This is Steph's next hit from @boomstudios, if you ask me. An awesome orignal series from her and the excellent Goran Sudžuka (and Ive Scorcina & Tom Napolitano), plus some gatdamn @TheDevilpig covers -- all you'd want from good comics is right here."—Cully Hamner

"A hell of a good time...make sure this is on your radar"—Benjamin Percy

"Goran Sudžuka is a master illustrator. The facial expressions remind me of Keith Giffen’s and Kevin Maguire’s facial expressions. You can see when Sudžuka’s pencils are charged with tension or emotions. Then you can also see how Sudžuka cues in the suspense of disbelief and transitions from reality to fantasy. Quite effortlessly might I add." - Nerd Initiative
