Críticas:

"That sounds like an awful lot to pack in, but Atwood's breathless love for both the form and subject matter, combined with expressive art by fellow Canadian Johnnie Christmas (who beautifully captures Strig's evolving feline body language), make Angel Catbird a rather jolly adventure." --The Guardian

"September is turning out to be a terrific month for great contemporary writers making their comics debut." --GQ

Praise for Margaret Atwood
"Margaret Atwood takes risks and wins." --Time

"Atwood is a poet." -- The New Yorker

"Atwood's prose miraculously balances humor, outrage and beauty. A simple description becomes both chilling and sublime." --The New York Times
