I say it all the time, DeForge is one of the best out there these days.  Pick up any issue of Lose, pick them all up." — Kate Beaton author ofHark! A Vagrant(Drawn & Quarterly, 2011)“With Michael DeForge, you can be certain that you won’t get what you expect.” —Alex Hern,The New Statesman“A classic one-man indie anthology by a prolific young artist who seems to follow no trends but rather creates an imaginative world distinctly his own. DeForge is the best cartoonist working today.” — Timothy Callahan,Comic Book Resources"Deforge has carved out a wide space for himself in the school of unnerving cartoon art, majoring in nihilistic humour and deadpan irony, with a minor in sexually-tinged body horror. Several of the pieces in this handsome square-bound comic book...elicit the very same hair-standing-on-end, skin-rippling frisson of terror that the best examples of the genre are known for." — BK Munn,Sequential"Lose" #4 builds on what DeForge has done in previous comics and amplifies his own world-building. DeForge's odd stories have begun to develop a large-scale internal logic by this point, and his personal mythology is taking a more concrete form. The newest issue of "Lose" is astonishing. I am constantly surprised and amazed by what DeForge can do." — Timothy Callahan,Comic Book Resources
