Jumps all over the place some great moments but can't say the ending does it justice.

[Cadillac Jack · Rating 5 out of 5]

Remender does it again. Napalm Lullaby starts a bit mundane but builds into a unique and compelling superhero story anchored by fantastic art from Bengal (his character designs and ability to impart motion into an action scene are incredible). Stick with it through the first few issues and you'll be rewarded with some incredible action, interesting twists and turns, and an emotional climax both fitting and unexpected. Great stuff, an easy recommendation for anyone who enjoys superhero comics with a bit more going on than first meets the eye

Interstellar, cyberpunk, and a superhero comic were all rolled into one. The art is INCREDIBLE and I immediately had to go back to reread certain parts when I finished the book
