"With its precise interplay of real-life fears and supernatural terror, Infidel is as mesmerizing as it is insightful."

"Sinewy and tense, this outstanding comic from former Vertigo editor Pichetshote and artists Campbell (James Bond), Jose Villarrubia (King Conan), and Jeff Powell (Earth One) boldly displays a multifaceted and thoughtful view of racial and religious issues at the forefront of cultural dialog across the United States while delivering solid horror that will keep readers awake at night."
