[edit] Quotes

"Every once in a while there's a comic that makes creators and fans scratch their heads and say, 'Damn, I wish I'd thought of that idea.' Living in Infamy is just such a book" — Ain't It Cool News

"Considering this was the first ever comic produced by Ludovico Technique (a DVD production company), I was extremely impressed with the magnificent quality of the book. Ludovico selected an excellent story, and got it right where so many veteran publishers fail these days — they made sure the story and art were of a high quality, and let the work speak for itself." — Adam White, Comiccritique.com
