This rockstar creative team exercised all their skills during the break between arcs, and they're all sharp and steady, ready to get back to battle and take their audience on the wildest of adventures.""--Blake's Buzz ""Blake's Buzz"" ""From indie comics publisher Scout Comics, By the Horns has reigned as one of its most successful titles so far. The unified singular vision from writer Markisan Naso and artist/letterer Jason Muhr pushes the boundaries of SFF originality while paying homage to their obvious influences.""--Katie Liggera ""Cultured Vultures"" ""Markisan Naso and Jason Muhr are probably my favorite writer/artist combination in comics, and at this point they've earned my trust when it comes to whatever new series they're putting out, and this comic just reinforces that trust.
