"Although written in full-text style, both [The Forest King and Heir to Fire] show a graphic-novel influence-episodic, action-driven plots; highly visual descriptive imagery; and dramatic dialogue. The comic-book background is also evident in the heavily shadowed illustrations and dramatic cover art. These high-energy texts and engaging characters will attract reluctant readers as well as fantasy fans."
-- Elaine E. Knight - SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL
"Heir To Fire is a great little hardcover book that's filled with action, prose and chapter illustrations that let you know that the picture in your head is on the right path. This very cool hardcover...is a manly recommendation of Busted Knuckles."
-- Beau Smith - Busted Knuckles - SILVER BULLET COMICS
"This is a great book for younger teens, pre-teens, or older reluctant readers. Filled with wonderful illustrations, short chapters, and an intriguing story line, you'll be glad that the last page of HEIR TO FIRE isn't "the end," but rather just the beginning."
-- Jennifer Wardrip -- TeensReadToo.com
"HEIR TO FIRE feels and reads like a really good Marvel comic of the 1970s or so. It’s big fun that would work well on the big screen. It earns the full five out of five Tonys plus the special 'Best of Show' ribbon."
-- Tony Isabella -- Tony's Tips -- Comics Buyer's Guide
"[HEIR TO FIRE is] a creepy-cool adventure..."
-- Julie Hinds -- Detroit Free Press
"HEIR TO FIRE is an exciting horror story...The characters are realistic and the audience will find themselves rooting for the hero to defeat the monsters. The illustrations are well drawn enhancing the fascinating storyline."
-- Harriet Klausner - Alternative Worlds - Amazon.com #1 Reviewer
"HEIR TO FIRE was completely unpredictable and I couldn’t put it down."
-- Magic Tree Bookstore
"I'd recommend [HEIR TO FIRE] to any and every young adult that has even the tiniest amount of imagination. It's surely to be enjoyed."
-- FantasyBookSpot.com
"There was a time stuff this fun was only found in the monster comics we weren't supposed to read. It's comforting to know kids don't have to work that hard to enjoy a great story like HEIR TO FIRE."
-- Dan Brereton - BATMAN: THRILLKILLER artist
"It's always a treat to see new books from Mike Dubisch and Rob Worley. They're great visual storytellers, whose work is always full of energy and personality."
-- Joe Staton - GREEN LANTERN and SCOOBY DOO artist
"We have all been gypped! There aren't enough illustrated adventures like HEIR TO FIRE in the world! Beautifully textured art, great story, I want more!"
-- Joseph Michael Linsner - creator of CRY FOR DAWN
