Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"A swift poem of love and violence, a one-two punch - you won't know what hit you. Adversary captures complex things about early transition, about coming out, about the isolation and paranoia of 2020, in a way that few creators have been willing to do. Delliquanti has been a cartoonist to watch for a long time, but they've become one you have to watch." - Isaac Fellman, Dead Collections
"A grounded erotica that also tells a painfully real story of loss, fear, and frustration in the face of a changing world and tragedy." - WWAC
"Subtle, haunting, and deft storytelling that has stuck with me for weeks after finishing the book. Blue is a master craftsman at comics and you don't want to miss this one; read it twice." - Melanie Gillman, As the Crow Flies
"Delliquanti shows a nuanced hand when it comes to character development, infusing Curtis's and Anton's role-playing scenes with sharp eroticism. They also ably capture the streets of Minneapolis through small details (graffiti; shop signs), evoking a city that--like these two protagonists--still grapples with multiple traumas. This complex work rewards multiple readings." - Publishers Weekly
