"Why Chris Ware has not won a MacArthur Award, I don't know. I can't wait until the entire Rusty Brown odyssey is finished. If only I had a brain like his..."
"This book is a collection of material taken from Chris Ware's Acme Novelty Library volumes, a Best Of if you will, packed with standout selections from his various ongoing comic strips as well as all the fine-print-in-the-margins hilarity you would expect from such a volume with Ware's name on it. Some may find the fake Acme inserts tedious after a certain point, but I think that's part of the whole joke and dutifully read every word on every publication of Ware's. This oversized hardcover serves as a perfect introduction for the uninitiated, serving up a fantastic variety of Ware's brilliantly bleak explorations of human folly."
"I like the tragic and beer-bellied super hero story a lot. I appreciated Rusty Brown's selfish cruelty and loved, loved, loved Brittany White the teenage broken-hearted lesbian! Oh, and the Rocket Sam chronicles are the saddest robot tales you'll ever read. Poor robots! Learn your lesson, robots! Your creator is heartless!!! He will betray you and treat you like a slave tool every time!"
"Lots more "reading" in this graphic novel than in some of Ware's other work. Many of the short written excerpts are entertaining (and sarcastically accurate), but I prefer the illustrated panels best. Fortunately, there are still plenty of those!"
