Please note that I always delete reader comments with large graphics, videos or music. I use this MySpace page for networking and friends and all that extra stuff in the comments really slows down the load time of the page. So feel free to leave comments, small graphics or links, but any large stuff is deleted almost instantly.

Punks Review by Humphrey Lee
"Punks the Comic is what would happen if Nextwave was actually a Sunday night cartoon on Adult Swim."

Punks Review by Kurt Amacker
"Chamberlain creates a vivid collage world – one that seems to occupy the imaginary spaces between album covers and concert fliers seen on college campuses and in dive bars during punk’s heyday."

Review by Monte Williams
"Ultimately, one comes away from Chamberlain’s artwork with the sense that it is likely to age very, very well, despite the increasing popularity of its (deceptively complex) style."

Review by B. R. Salazar
"His moody, textured pencils and strong use of colors will be a treat to
watch develop as this story progresses. Setting the mood is imperative
to any horror story, and Mr. Chamberlain is more than up to the task."

Review by Jay Tomio
"Kody Chamberlain's pencils don't seek to unhinge readers with splash pages of cadaverous visions and gore; instead he seeks to unnerve us within the confines of our own neighborhoods."

Review by Matt Rawson
"Chamberlain’s line work is not precise or mechanical; it has a feel of movement that compliments the atmosphere. Chamberlain’s art also sports a heavily stylized realism that I often find appealing."

Review by Leroy Douresseaux
"Chamberlain’s style is firmly rooted in a kind of urban realism. Even his color work comes across with a Film-Noir vibe. He reminds me of Frank Miller, Ho Che Anderson, David Mazzuchelli, and Bill Sienkiewicz, among others."

"The artist, Kody Chamberlain is a new name to me, but his style and sense of pacing are perfectly suited for this story."

Review by Troy Brownfield
"It’s written by Keith Giffen, who is really pushing every genre he can find over at Boom!, and features spectacular art by Kody Chamberlain."

Review by Graig Kent
"Kody Chamberlain handles the complete art duties with a style reminiscent of Ben Templesmith or Kent Williams. Rough and scratchy lines, heavy shadows and a murky watercolour palette."

Review by Hervé St.Louis
"Chamberlain’s artwork is good and dark in a Vertigo way... Even in black and white, Chamberlain’s ink would shine as he masters contrasts very well."

Review by Andrew Wickliffe
"While Tag is a piece of good work from Giffen...it’s Chamberlain who makes the whole thing come together...He reminds me most
of Michael Lark, but if Lark’s work were uncanny."

Review by Dexter K. Flowers
"Kody Chamberlain composes panels like Alex Maleev and figures like J. H. Willaims, and uses the same sort of loose, scratchy linework associated with both..."

Review by Hillary Goldstein
"Keith Giffen has seen a resurgence of comic-book interest
over the past year, but Tag is his first true home run in a long time.
Kody Chamberlain's art, muted with unhealthy tones of yellow, gray and brown, is a perfect compliment to Giffen's words."

Review by Christopher J. Shelton
"Kody Chamberlain’s artistic style reminded me of Jae Lee’s style. My favorite art moment was...where the
whacked-out professor cuts open vampire Billy’s chest with a butcher
knife while the kid is awake and tied to an operating table."

Christina Z on BloodRayne
“When I saw Kody's art, I knew he was the one for this book. His style gave me the fluid, yet chaotic vibe that Bill Sienkiewicz's
work always gives me. It's dark and expressive."

"Kody Chamberlain is the very definition of the word professional. Not only that, but he practically bleeds talent. There is no other artist I enjoy working with as much."

Western Tales of Terror, Elk's Run
Review by Marc Lombardi
"Kody Chamberlain's art...is classic horror
art. It's dark, scratchy, gory, and definitely on the creepy side. But
more importantly, it's also quite good."

Review by Don MacPherson
"There's a stronger sense of realism in Chamberlain's work.
His efforts here remind me of a cross between the styles of Michael Lark and Bill Sienkiewicz."

Review by Jason Schachat
"Kody Chamberlain’s art on the first story has a far more realistic...it achieves a
gritty creepiness much like Alex Maleev’s work on Daredevil. Just with
huge fangs and buckets of blood."

Review by Kurt Amacker
"Chamberlain’s art is nicely done. His characters are more detailed and
less abstract than his backgrounds, with flat, dirty colors that
capture the mood well."

Review by Greg McElhatton
"Like Templesmith, Chamberlain uses deep, beautiful colors to illustrate "Dead Billy Dead", ones that make the art almost pop off of the page at the reader."
