“We got a good look at this new graphic novel, and we think it's got legs. I've run it by some of my harshest critics, and they've all come back with two thumbs up. There's enough back-story to carry this a long way, and I have to say, I'm already liking the characters-- Landra... her brother... I want to know where they're going and I've already found myself invested in their welfare and future-- a sign of good writing. We're looking forward to the next issue. I highly recommend you hop on board David Hine's crazy-ass train-- I'm already hooked! Style and story... vampires and zombies-- awesome!”

“FVZA is just plain cool. The story is solid. The artwork is phenomenal. Everyone attached to this comic deserve to pat themselves on the back. There are so many vampire and zombie comics these days that you might say, do we really need another? My answer is this: if you can do it better than anyone else and somehow put your own original seal upon it, there will always be room. FVZA certainly qualifies.”

“Overall I must say I was very impressed with this book. The story, the style and everything else clicked so well. Another highlight is that this is part of the new “Bigger Book, Bigger value” deal from Radical Publishing. You get 64 pages for a mere five dollars, a damn good deal in my opinion. Plus an interview with writer David Hine and a sneak peek at Rick Remender’s The Last Days of American Crime which looks fantastic.
I am truly excited to see where this series will go from here and I strongly urge everyone to pick up this book and join along.”

“...There are no cuddly Cullen vampires or witless, wandering zombies to be found in this book. FVZA returns to the horrific roots of two well-known monsters with a story specifically designed to scare the pee out of you. The bleeding eyes and rotting flesh of those infected with the zombie virus are particularly gruesome as Martinez goes into a disturbing amount of detail. The artwork is hauntingly beautiful and the colors are simply breathtaking, and their combined effect make this some of the best art I’ve seen in a comic. Hine has written a dark and suspenseful tale of man versus monster (with some monster versus monster as well), and an interview with him at the end of the book explains a lot about the story and its origins. Nearly fifty pages of awesome, FEDERAL VAMPIRE AND ZOMBIE AGENCY is off to an excellent start."
