The Exec

  "But the real star of The Exec is the coloring by Blond. The dark blue, muted tones in Pierce's bedroom at the beginning of the story beautifully capture the feeling of quiet sanctuary necessary to contrast Pierce's personal life and professional life. Later, as he enters the golden, brilliantly shiny halls of his office, we understand the intoxicating sensations that attracted Pierce to his line of work in the first place. The vivid orange and red hues of the brutality in the boardroom where we first see Pierce's "negotiation" skills in action capture an intensity that is both stunning and unsettling. Though the story and artwork are both entertaining, without Blond's coloring and the glossy, high-quality paper stock, The Exec would lose a good deal of its futuristic, atmospheric appeal."

Randy Meyers, Captain Comics Review


  "...one of the best production jobs I've seen on an independent book in some time."

  "I really have to give some extra credit to [Blond].
Computer coloring is still a fairly new innovation in comic books and when a company like Top Cow keeps raising the bar every month, its good to see an independent book that can utilize the medium to their advantage."

John Hahn, WowComics
