"Rarely straying from a beautiful pallette of browns and golds, the artistic team behind this reissue show in a series of clipped, well-written scenes how Joseph's levitations earn him the attentions of the Vatican. What might have been a sober character study becomes something pulpier, which is good for readers who like their religious inquiries to include scenes of a flying friar participating in aerial battles over an ancient Italian town. This wouldn't work for stained glass but it makes for a quick, flashy comic."
- Craig Taylor - Guardian Newspaper
"All in all, this is one terrific book and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Buy this book, get cozy on the couch with nice cup of tea and prepare to be entertained."
