Editorial Reviews

Review

"As high stakes and high-concepts go, it doesn't get much bigger or better than Marines versus pirates with all of American history on the line... A gunpowder blast from beginning to end." - Adam Beechen [Batman Beyond, Hench]

"Blowback is everything I want in a comic right now- heroes and villains, military history, action and adventure, piracy on the high seas, and a little bit of Ben Franklin for good measure!

James Hereth and Rhonda Smiley deliver a terrific script, and Kev Hopgood's outdone himself with some of the best art of his career. Every member of the 'G.I. Joe' generation will want to check this out." - Andrew Farago [Cartoon Art Museum curator, author of TMNT: The Ultimate Visual History]

From the Back Cover

From writer/creators JAMES HERETH (Mowgli: The New Adventures of the Jungle Book, Extreme Team) and RHONDA SMILEY (Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, Race), artist KEV HOPGOOD (Iron Man, 2000 AD) and colorist CHARLIE KIRCHOFF (Star Wars Adventures, Judge Dredd Classics), comes an award-winning sci-fi action adventure that spans centuries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific story and illustrations!

This was my first reading of a genre of this type. I thought the story was very engaging and made me want to keep reading. I loved the illustrations of the characters and backgrounds. It was really outstanding in every way! I am an older adult and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think a teenage would really love it! I'm going to buy copies to send to my grandsons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great history-bending action adventure for teens interested in U.S. history
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2021

What happens when a kick-ass group of contemporary US marines find themselves transported back to the time of the Revolutionary War? A hell of an adventure. This story combines time-travel, military history, soldierly camaraderie, intense action, wholesome romance, and to top it off, PIRATES. Great characters and great art. I'd recommend it primarily for early-teen readers and general lovers of graphic novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever story; clean, crisp artwork
Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2021

Blowback is a clever graphic novel with multiple twists and a plot that builds upon itself, until it's satisfying resolution by the end. The writing is strong and the artwork is beautiful. Because of how the story develops, it's difficult to discuss without spoilers; suffice to say, it's entertaining!
