Marty Mulrooney at Alternative Magazine Online posted his review of Harbor Moon and gave us a glowing 8 out of 10 Star Review.
"Harbor Moon is refreshingly different, matching buckets of gore with equal amounts of deadly beauty..."
"The artwork... deftly conveys this isolated, secretive town with a haunting grimness and firm sense of reality that is difficult to shake. There is something decidedly Hitchcockian about the locals too: just as Tim is made to feel like an outsider, so too is the reader. This adds a wonderful sense of danger to the proceedings, emphasising the potential deadly nature of every character that is introduced. This kind of smouldering ambience doesn’t come cheap. Luckily, Harbor Moon never skimps on atmosphere."
"Oversized and glossily printed, that first flick-through promises so much, and it largely delivers. The story appears generic at first but soon transforms into an entirely different beast. Not everything is as it seems with Harbor Moon and I doubt the various twists and turns will displease fans of the genre. Innovation is plentiful, the wider universe merely hinted at. Risks are taken and most of them pay off. Whether via a spin-off or sequel, I truly hope to revisit the world of Harbor Moon again soon. A promising debut."
The experts of lycanthropy over at I Love Werewolves have posted their review of Harbor Moon and they proclaim, "it’s not just the story that will enthrall you, the artwork itself is enough to keep the reader thoroughly engaged. The images set a tone that is a special blend of the mysterious, secretive, and dark, creating a mood that has you at the edge of your seat, in anxious anticipation of the next page’s battle sequence. The overall dark tone of the book is injected with vivid shots of color throughout that engage your senses."
"And then there’s the story. A plot with just enough twists and turns that the ending is unexpected, but thoroughly satisfying to werewolf and horror fans. With just enough text to tell the story, and plenty of beautiful imagery to keep you engaged, the writers have clearly found that balance that can sometimes be hard to accomplish."
"Harbor Moon is a fun, thoughtfully written, visually engaging, and a thoroughly satisfying full sized graphic novel for werewolf fans."

The werewolf experts over at werewolves.com have posted a review of the graphic novel. And it is pretty damn awesome. Here's a few snippets:
"The story is one that any horror and action fan will love, it has just the right amount of mystery and intrigue mixed with plenty of blood and gore to keep your attention. Lets just say that the werewolves on these pages are nothing like the pansy wolves in Twilight – these guys are badass.
As for the artwork, it is absolutely phenomenal. It took me much longer to read this graphic novel than any others due to the fact that I was so distracted by how beautiful the artwork was. I would read everything on one page and before I would turn to the next one I would stop and take a good hard look at each scene again. I’m very impressed with the artists of Harbor Moon – well done guys.
I highly suggest picking up a copy of Harbor Moon."
BILLINGS, Mont. – Government agencies are seeking broad new authority to ramp up killings and removals of gray wolves in the Northern Rockies and Great Lakes, despite two recent court actions that restored the animal's endangered status in every state except Alaska and Minnesota.
Once poisoned to near-extermination in the lower 48 states, wolves made a remarkable comeback over the last two decades under protection of the Endangered Species Act. But as packs continue to multiply their taste for livestock and big game herds coveted by hunters has stoked a rising backlash.
