Here's What People Are Saying:

"Silent Devil's Antigone is a great adaptation of an ancient play that is both entertaining and powerful, making for a morality play that resonates centuries after the original was penned."
-- Matthew McLean, The Comics Review

"A compelling mashup unlike anything else on the stands. It's always a comfort to see a creator like David Hopkins trying new things with the form."
-- Miles Gunter, writer for NYC Mech, Zombee, and Bastard Samurai

"Plot-wise, nothing is altered from the source material, yet what Hopkins has altered is just this side of brilliant."

"Antigone is a superior work that bridges the gap between comic books and literature."
-- Dave Baxter, Broken Frontier

"Antigone is a classicist's dream, a great example of how relevant and exciting these stories really are. It's a comic fan's delight, as it's got a nice fresh look, a great sense of design and a witty and refreshing writing style. Whether you're into Aeschylus or Action Comics, you'll love it."
-- Leah Moore, writer for Wild Girl, Albion, Tom Strong's Terrific Tales
