“A-. Well-researched, the dreamy, landscape-style storytelling alone is worth a recommendation. Here's hoping that by story's end Mann and Lewis have forged a truly relevant bond between the Joseph Campbell stuff and the Inconvenient Truth/post-Katrina subtext.”
—Jeff Jensen, Entertainment Weekly
“Another of Archaia’s fine offerings…. It’s thoughtful, nice to look at, exciting, and raises important questions.”
— Greg Burgas, Comic Book Resources’ “Comics Should Be Good”
“By examining and comparing the parallels and the key differences in each story, there's a strange kind of human truth exposed in the combination.”
— Mladen Luketin, INFUZE Magazine
"An extraordinary cross-cultural portrait of flood and catastrophe over the course of human history. Its eloquent prose and luminous images will delight readers of all ages. A triumphant example of how graphic novels can vitalize the fields of religion and biblical literature. This book is bound to become a classic."
— Susan Mizruchi, Guggenheim Fellowship recipient;author of The Science of Sacrifice, and Religion and Cultural Studies
“There's nothing I like better than dependent narratives set in more than one era. This sure-handed, character-driven telling of our shared flood mythologies offers us hope of averting, or at least surviving the deluge ahead. The production of this book is, in itself, an act of collective redemption.”
—Douglas Rushkoff, Vertigo’s Testament
"After reading this collection of Flood myths, you'll never look at the story of Noah the same way again. Mann's stunning artwork brings classical mythology to vivid life."
—Shaenon Garrity, Editor at ModernTales.com
“A tale of epic proportions that moves across time, cultures, and religions to constitute a fable for our times. The carefully crafted story by A. David Lewis and the compelling art by MPMANN demonstrate how effective the graphic novel can be in speaking to us about the apocalyptic dangers with which we live. In the hands of such a fine artist and writer, it is clear why the graphic novel is the literature of the future.”
—M. Thomas Inge, Blackwell Professor of Humanities, Randolph-Macon College, and author of Comics as Culture
