reviews

listed as one of the 10 best comics by jewish creators on cbr.com.

"The 48-page adventure is praised for its depth of world-building that could easily expound for another 100, and fans would still love every word."

"The Scent of May Rain is a stunning debut. A book that both celebrates and subverts the hero genre to create a daring, confident, and heartfelt meditation on history, identity and self realization. A stirring and exquisite call for a better tomorrow." - Scott Snyder (Batman, Undiscovered Country)

"...an exquisite exploration of love, family, tradition, religion, sexuality, and humanity that offers a unique and thought-provoking look at the human experience—as lived by a character who's not at all human." - Nicole Drum for comicbook.com
