Review Quotes: "Tidhar (By Force Alone) propels an ensemble of historical figures and literary characters through a knotty and thrilling plot packed with intrigue and visceral action, illustrated with a keen eye for historical detail by McCaffrey (Anno Dracula-1895: Seven Days in Mayhem)." - Library Journal Starred Review
"The story is clever and fast-paced, and its emphasis on women is refreshing and inspired ... Adler is pure entertainment, establishing a strong, intelligent heroine and a foundation that leaves the door open for future (past) adventures." - Foreword Reviews "Fantasy Award winner Tidhar (By Force Alone) keeps a constant breathless pace of chases ... twists and derring-do aplenty" - Publisher's Weekly "There's something massive at work behind the mash-up hook of this story, and the more you read the deeper into that sense of scale you get. It's an addictive feeling" - SyFy Wire "Combines dynamic, manga-esque linework with an ornate, Bryan Talbot-style eye for detail, meticulously designing everything from an Art Nouveau concert poster to some authentic periodicals of the day" - SFX "With complex artwork and a story that puts a unique spin on some of the 19th century's greatest literary heroines, this is one adventure you'll want to sign-on for" - Kabooooom "From fans of the various literary properties to those who have only minimal information on any of them, "Adler" #1 is both educational and entertaining" - Multiversity Comics "A highly detailed and enjoyable adventure" - Monkeys Fighting Robots "At its finest, Adler is a delightful, progressive penny dreadful that reminds readers of its Victorian inspirations" - Comic Watch "A fun and unique story ... filled with memorable characters and the plot delivers a pulp-style mystery perfectly ... a truly memorable tale." - But Why Tho "The rapid pacing of the story leaves you breathless from enjoyment, the exited bombast of explosion, gunfire, and murder is deliciously overt and there's a unique thrill to seeing more modern sensibilities overlaid on classic figures ... Ridiculous and riveting, Adler is a (penny) dreadfully fabulous story" - SciFi Now "A wonderful take on historical fiction. The fictional characters from various forms of literature and historical figures are breathtakingly brought to life in this greater-than-life journey" - The Fandom Post "A thoroughly entertaining alternate history tale - recommended. 9/10" - SciFi Bulletin "Tidhar and McCaffrey form a great team that keeps you interested and intrigued from the opening panels right up to the end. There's nothing elementary about this one" - Forces of Geek "Fun and exciting ... [a] fast-paced, thrilling adventure. I'd love to see more Adler graphic novels in the future, as there are endless possibilities with this fresh take on familiar literary characters." - SciFi Chick "Adler, in which the opera singer-turned-adventuress teams up with other fictional women -- Lady Havisham! Jane Eyre! -- as well as real historical figures -- Marie Curie! Queen Victoria! -- to protect the British Empire from an angry African queen and a vampiric assassin" - Book Riot
