The book has been receiving rave reviews prior to release, currently sitting at a fantastic 9.5 on ComicBookRoundup.com.
Greg Hatcher at CBR calls it “enormously compelling… It’s very tough and cool, in much the same action-movie, hard-R tradition as other crime comics like 2 Guns and The Losers”.
Mingqua Nguyen over at WCBR described the book as “Pulp at its finest. A terrific sample of the genre, proving that you can have sex, drugs, and violence in a story and still keep it classy”.
Brett Schenker at Graphic Policy writes “an action movie in graphic novel form.” .
