Who I'd like to meet: “It’s a war comic on super-serum steroids and with Giffen and Denton’s trademark humor interlaced with the action one has to know that it is a page turner from that very first issue.”- NEWSARAMA
“Grunts #1 is a war comic hopped up on super-charged adrenaline... Grunts is highly recommended”- Mark Allen: Suspended Animation
“…the characters play to their archetypes well; the way they handle the super-powered baddies makes sense in the context of the story and is actually clever in each instance. And Matt Jacobs does a solid job of putting the tale down on the page.”- Comics Waiting Room
“…this book is as good as the best of them… Grunts is a COMIC YOU SHOULD BE READING. Go get it.”- Paperback Reader
“Shannon Eric Denton and Keith Giffen have pooled their combined talents to bring us a story of how people get along, how group dynamics can change in a heartbeat, and how when faced with just plain evil, every day types can band together and get the job done.”
-Atomic Avenue
" ...a razor cutting style that energizes the subject matter, infusing WW2 era characters with a present day energy. Great stuff!" - DARICK ROBERTSON, artist and co-creator of Transmetropolitan and The Boys.
"From the muddy battlefields of France to the haunted ruins of modern-day, Chechnya, "Grunts", pulls no punches when dealing with the hardcore violence of war. Perfectly marrying action, fantasy, horror and sc-fi into one wonderfully, dark and very original package with superb art (it's good to see an M1 Garand, actually looking like an M1 Garand), and flawless writing, "Grunts" is like a bayonet to the gut, but one that leaves a smile on your face and salivating for the next attack." - BILLY TUCCI, creator of SHI and writer/artist on Sgt. Rock
