For HOAX #1

“This is a group of artists who will continue to grow and push boundaries with their work. I have no doubt that they will make their mark in comics.”
–Pheobe Gloeckner

“If there were an Eisner award for Best Cover, Hoax #1 would get my vote. Hoax is an independent anthology along the same lines as Blood Orange or the early Top Shelf collections, although these artists hit their strides much sooner out of the gate.” –Comic Book Galaxy

“…professional. All the stories are well written and interesting. There's not one weak spot in this anthology. Each story delivers an entertaining tale and all of the artwork is outstanding!” –Almost Normal Comics

“Touted as 'an all new anthology by all new artists,' (Hoax #1) is impressive for a first outing, and really is a solid anthology in its own right. The different stories do share common elements, most overtly is the disturbing nature of the comics. Though disturbing to different degrees, and in different ways, each of the stories contained a point to the “horror” – this wasn’t just mindless shock-value writing or art. If you have enjoyed anthologies put out by publishers like Fantagraphics or Drawn & Quarterly, you will want to check this book out."
--The Comic Queen

"Addicted to Hoaxes" - a thorough article/review by Sequential Tart.

“The main intention of the Hoax anthology is to provoke thought. As a result some of the material contained within the five stories is disturbing, some is overtly political and some is just plain bewildering. All of the material has validity even if it doesn't always convince. It is frank and direct and as a result the comic has an overall sense of urgency, a sense of a group of concerned comic creators who have something to say and are in a hurry to say it.
In a Word: Provoking.”

-Silver Bullet Comic Books

For HOAX Issue 2

"I preferred this to Bete Noire... ...overall this issue conjured some of the enjoyment I had reading issues of Weirdo the first time around (minus the patented Crumb genius, of course): the sense that cartoonists are struggling to develop a style and engage with the world, and that the struggle is not just worth having, but worth reading."
Comix Experience

“The first issue of this was something I idly picked up off the shelf and thought interesting enough to take home. When the second issue came out, Jim, my Comics Pimp, put it in my folder for me to consider, and I decided to grab it as well. I don't know much about the publisher or the creators involved, but I do like me some anthology comics, of which this is one.”
