“This comic plays to Snyder’s strengths, with a cast full of unique personalities and the use of nostalgia for what never was to make the violence and cruelty cut a little deeper. Albuquerque’s art, as always, is fantastic and he’s still clearly one of the best in the business. All in all, this was a very solid debut and has all the makings of an American Vampire-esque hit.” Rating: 4.5/5—ComicBook.com
“One part ‘American Graffiti’ and another part ‘Mad Max’, ‘Duck And Cover’ #1 is a thrilling, genre-blending adventure that does away with the rosy glow of nostalgia to depict a darker, more divided America as it really was, but with the added danger of a bleak, world-threatening apocalypse. “ 10/10—Comicon
“’Duck and Cover’ takes familiar coming-of-age stories into harrowing new territory. Snyder combines nostalgia, fear, violence, and catastrophe into a compelling new thriller. Albuquerque and Maoilo bring it all to vivid life in all its frightening ugliness. This historical retelling of the age of the atomic bomb is a gripping read that draws the reader in with a well-worn set-up and then turns the story on its head. A fantastic debut issue.”—Lotusland
