It&#8217;s a polished piece of writing, no doubt about that, but it has that simultaneous urgency and sprawl of a writer finding their feet.\u201d\u2013The Guardian<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cGaiman exhibits his usual deft characterization and keen ear for dialogue and wordplay, but the book represents a step forward for his prose\u2026American Gods is assured and ambitious, resembling nothing except Gaiman\u2019s Sandman stories.\u201d \u2013Tasha Robinson, The Onion (Focus section)<\/p>\n<p>About Dark Horse Comics&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1986 by Mike Richardson, Dark Horse Comics is an excellent example of how integrity and innovation can help broaden a unique storytelling medium and transform a company with humble beginnings into an industry giant.
