Critics Review
“I’m an enormous fan of Kennedy. I think he’s a generational talent. This beautiful work feels like a lost nursery rhyme or an elegy for the lost.” —Ben Passmore, Your Black Friend and BTTM FDRS
“Michael D. Kennedy has a totally original and confident voice on the page—so different from everyone else. The best pages of Milk White Steed hit like poster graphics.” —Dash Shaw, Blurry and Discipline
“A rare beast—emotional, deceptively instant, unabashedly complex. Worlds collide and we are half defeated and amused. Vulnerable and wry. This is a virtuosic shape-shifting vision and an excellent comic.” —Joe Kessler, The Gull Yettin
