“This comic makes you think. It isn’t designed to be an easy read or fun and enjoyable. Instead, we are taken into a different perspective of recent events that we may not have thought of. This makes it a great read because it reflects modern events..”

“Overall Black Cotton is a really smartly written and carefully considered look at contemporary racial tensions. Its flipped narrative makes it a poignant and powerful read, and it’s superbly simple visuals help to strengthen the impact. It is a fantastic example of how comics and politics can intertwine and tell intricate and important stories in unique ways. A really clever and thought provoking read that should develop into something very socially relevant indeed....”

“But Black Cotton #1 isn’t just a book focused on reverse racism. It emphasizes the point that no matter black or white, we need to have empathy for people and treat everyone equally. Aside from that, the dialogue makes bold statements as well with lines like, “You shot a girl.” “In cold blood.” “A white girl.” “That sh*t ain’t going away.” It shows a superb perspective that being black can be a double-edged sword even if you come from a rich and powerful family.”
