“I’d say it’s ‘the greatest board-game based comic of all time’ but that sounds sarcastic. Instead, I’ll say it’s a funny zombie-apocalypse comic with an A+ dog.” - Kieron Gillen (Star Wars, The Wicked + The Divine)

“With Dead of Winter, Kyle Starks, Gabo, and Sparky the Stunt Dog have given us a zombie apocalypse unlike any other—one with heart, wit, and bloody bucket loads of pure fun!” - Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, The Sixth Gun)

“This book is too good. Hilarious and heartwarming and crazy and just really fun. Just when you think the zombie comic is dead, here’s Dead of Winter, coming to get you.” - Ben Acker (Star Wars: Join the Resistance)

“I highly recommend you reading this if you want an RPG-like take and feel on regular zombie comics. I also recommend this if you want to see a joyful and adorable dog in a cape, who bites zombies and wants to make friends in this world. ” - Geek.com

“Dead of Winter takes a tired premise like zombies and breathes new life into it. The inclusion of Sparky and his hate of the undead is fun, balancing the terror of the story with some comic relief.” - HorrorTalk

“A fresh take in a saturated genre, with a deceptively light tone, and a cast that carries real weight and emotion.” - Multiversity Comics
