QUOTES
“Thompson (Chaos Campus: Sorority Girls vs. Zombies) offers what is some of his best writing; in fact, I’m sure that it is the best that I have read. The dialogue is evocative, complex, rich, and tricky.” – Comic Book Bin
“This book is apparently getting its share of accolades and after reading it for myself, I can say that it is deserving of both of these honors. / I would recommend Hass to anyone in search of a good comic series.” – Black Ship Books
“One of the key points of Hass #1 is the idea that there is still this festering boil upon society that is racism and every once in a while, it will explode and all of its vileness will come spewing forth on our world. / This was an unsettling comic book, but in a good way – I’ll be fascinated to see what Josh does next.” – Comic Book Resources
“This story really drives home just how insane being a racist is. How will this all affect Josh and his new relationship with Maggie? We see both love and hate at their best and worst here.” – Jazma Online
