"Damn near perfect.-- ""Cinema Sentries"" If you enjoy reading stories with ambiguity, disappointments, and people making bad choices--you know, like real life--then you might like this book.-- ""Third Coast Review"" Hetland gets under the skin in her nimble and unsettling graphic novel debut. ... [Her] ability to maintain a sinister atmosphere in scenes both mundane and monstrous will keep horror fans turning the pages.-- ""Publishers Weekly"" Tender is full of beautiful, gross, expressive artwork that makes the reader squirm in their seat.-- ""Bloody Disgusting"" A strong debut with powerful visual storytelling, Tender digs into the existential dread of getting everything that you thought you wanted and still not being satisfied.-- ""Diabolique Magazine"" A brutal critique of gender roles, social media, cultural pressures & expectations, Tender is a triumph.--Rob Clough ""High Low Comics"" An incredibly paced horror story that's equal parts sardonic, gruesome, and tender. A Jeanne Dielman for the Instagram generation.--Katie Skelly"
