Review
"There's a good deal of comedic violence...along with sexual innuendo and obscenites (some of the latter spoken by occasional bit character Jesus Christ). This is for older teen and adult geeks of all stripes." Library Journal
Review
"If nothing else, Penny Arcade illustrates that there may be times when a well-placed non sequitur can save one's life. Extra, value-adding features include excellent creators' commentary on each strip and a sketchbook section." Booklist
