“Captures Moorcock’s vision like nothing before!” Ron Marz (Silver Surfer, Green Lantern)

"A sweeping adventure, exquisitely adapted by some of comics’ top talent” -  FA Comics

"This spectacular, resplendently flamboyant adaptation is a deliciously elegant, savagely beautiful masterpiece of the genre effortlessly blending blistering action and gleaming adventure with the deep, darkly melancholic tone of the cynical, nihilistic, Cold-War mentality and era that spawned the original stories." - Comics Review

"Fantasy of the highest order, with dragons, pirates and magic swords coming together into an incredibly epic and robust world" -  Adventures In Poor Taste

"A Classic Repackaging of a Classic Tale! 5 out of 5!" - Comic Spectrum

"Unforgettable action and intrigue...a must-read for any fans of science fiction, sorcery or sword-and-sorcery epics!" - Comics Bulletin

"Richly deserves to be back in print...can’t wait to return to the dreaming city!" - SFX

"A terrific book." - Jeff Vaughn, Scoop

"Magic swords, epic quests, and gods dallying in the lives of poor confused mortals... such grand fun!" - Fanboy Comics

"An ideal introduction to the character" -  Flickering Myth    

"For any fan of Michael Moorcock’s work, this is pretty much a must have." -  Nerdly

"Part horror, part adventure, and all imagination - it's a terrific work and highly recommended!" -  Comic of the Day

"Working together, these three creators made an adaptation that remains faithful to the original novel but never feels like a mere adaptation or retelling of the source material. They made Michael Moorcock’s Elric of Melniboné novel into their great comic book." - Newsarama
