REVIEWS:

Grendel; The Devil Inside on icomics.com

"Bernie Mireault's art is a dramatic change from the Pander Brothers's work on the previous storyline. Mireault grounds The Devil Inside, drawing the fragmented life that is Brian Li Sung. It's a really distinctive look for the book, with Brian's clumsily-stitched mask and awkward attempts at grace. Where Christine Spar was a true heir to the title of Grendel, Mireault makes sure you understand that Brian Li Sung is an imitator trying to take the throne. He never ever feels at home in his own skin, and the final game of cat and mouse as drawn by Mireault hammers that fact home. It's painful to watch Brian go after Detective Wiggins, because you can see Brian's insecurities working against him in his desperation, trying to succeed where such an event can never truly happen."

Fallout on icomics.com & Comics Worth Reading

Cold Cut Feature Spotlight
on Two-Fisted Science

"The longest stories belong to Bernie Mireault, who does excellent work through about a third of the book, a long series of short stories about Feynman as a safecracker. "

Dark Horse/Maverick's Happy Endings:
A short story titled "The Cat"
Second Top Selling Graphic Novel for August 2002

Silver Bullet Comics!:
"The Cat by Bernie Mireault tells the tail (sic) of a domineering mother-in-law, her weak-willed son, and the inevitable conflict when the girl in the middle has finally had enough. HIT."
