"After two read-throughs of the three issues released to date, I want to see more. If you like an engaging story with multiple threads, family angst, hardened cops and the odd violent death, then Winter City delivers that nicely."

"Winter City is a fantastic book... It blazes its own trail of horror and heroics that will leave the reader in a state of agitation with each issue. Winter City is a book that will have you wondering just how clear is your conscience!"

"This is a dark and disturbing fable that challenges the received wisdom of superhero comics... With its willingness to tackle such dark material and excel in the attempt, we could be witnessing a very special book take shape"

"Winter City as a series continues to show why it deserves to be published by one of the big boys... The premise by the Purcells is interesting and strong. The art is simply phenomenal and that alone should be why you check out the series. That's not meant as a slight against the writing though because it's definitely top-notch."

"Muñoz is better right now than some artists who are actually working for DC, and he brings a ton of energy to the story... [Winter City] zips along confidently, and it seems like the Purcells are working toward something big."

"Winter City is a well-written and overall compelling murder mystery comic... If writers Patrick Purcell and Carl Purcell continue on the path that they are currently on, Winter City will wrap up as a satisfying independent comic."

"5/5 This is a crime comic with a twist. The Reaper is a horror walking that will freeze your blood. It is not only a crime comic it is a horror and super-hero mix as well. For pure thrills and chills this is the place."
