REVIEWS: Saint Germaine is history and the metaphysical blended into one, a cosmos of its own legend and fact woven into the fabric of a new reality. Eclectic, dense with meaning, and by no means a quick or easy read, the comic takes its pleasure in not explaining the alpha and omega of its main character. The result is a character we do not completely understand with a history we cannot penetrate---in short, the most intriguing immortal in comics since Neil Gaiman's Hob Gadling. Those willing to do more than just flip through a story will find much gold to mine here. If you want a comic book that will entertain you, there are plenty of them out there.

Who would've expected literature in comics? Neil Gaiman does it, but most of the time attempts by others sound over indulgent or pretentious. Saint Germaine doesn't. It works and it works well. Better than well, this is one absorbing and fantastic story. It is literate and entertaining at the same time. It has elements of horror mixed in with philosophy and yet somehow it all blends together into one great package. The story is one of the most engaging I've ever read in comics and the art is top notch. This is more than a winner, Saint Germaine is a stunning example of the power of the medium. It should be exalted. --JOHN L. KRUZE, COMIC REVIEW
