Brian Michael Bendis, author of the Ultimate Spider-Man series

"I truly think Demon is one of the best comics that has come out in the last few years. It's surprising, unique, and insanely well crafted."

Adam Savage of MythBusters

"Jason Shiga has done something remarkable with Demon: created a surpassing morally repugnant protagonist I still root for because of his prodigious intelligence. I'm ashamed of myself for liking him!"

Chester Brown, author of Paying For It

"It’s bizarre, sick, funny, and more than a little depraved, all of which is part of its charm." ―Nerdist I respect Jason so much for following his audacious, wild, insane muse. Demon is raw, explosive fun.”

Scott McCloud, author of The Sculptor

"Crazy + Genius = Shiga!"

Booklist

"Murder and suicide have never looked so adorable."

A.V. Club

"[Shiga] set out to make a dynamic comic, one that would both encourage and facilitate readers to turn the page again and again...The result is something goofy, funny, harrowing, and exciting in a way that action comics rarely―if ever―achieve."

Gene Luen Yang, author of American Born Chinese, Boxers & Saints, and the Secret Coders series

“Deeply uncomfortable and utterly brilliant.”

Zach Weinersmith, author of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal

“Awesome! And horrifying. But mostly awesome!”
