Of course, we all think Hero Camp is a great read, but don't take our word for it! Here are what some other creators of your favorite comic books think about Hero Camp!
“Hero Camp is a unique take on heroes and villains in the current
comic book market. Not only is the premise fresh and fun, but the
protagonist is a warm-hearted kid-friendly character that makes us
adults root for him too. We can't wait to read MUCH more!”
Jim Di Bartolo and Laini Taylor-Di Bartolo, co-creators of
The Drowned from Image Comics.

“Mini-comics the way mini-comics should be done.”
Josh Fialkov, writer of Western Tales of Terror and creator of
Poorly Drawn Animals.

“Hero Camp is a fresh twist on superheroes. Robbi Rodriguez’
art truly needs to be seen.”
Jonathan Luna, artist of Ultra.
“Working around a neat concept, Hero Camp weaves a humorous, sensitive and
downright rollicking yarn. A real treat.”
Phil Elliott, artist of Tupelo and Illegal Alien, and colorist on
Paul Grist’s Jack Staff.

“What Greg and Robbi have done is nothing short of refreshing.
They’ve taken the teen superhero genre and while using all the
familiar conceits, they’ve injected heart, pathos and
compassion. They’ve tapped into all that makes adolescence
and being a teenager such a pain in the ass while at the same time
showing why it is the best time of our lives. Hero
Camp is one full color 22 page comic book issue away from
greatness.”
Vito Delsante, writer of The Mercury Chronicles.

“Greg Thompson and Robbi Rodriquez’s… quirky black and
white mini-sized comic book is simple yet incredibly entertaining, and
it’s a shame that not too many people have heard of it.”
Marc Lombardi, reviewer at

“Hello Mutta, Hello Fatta. I’ve been reading, Hero Camp’a!
Ok, ok, so that’s not so witty. Thank God Hero Camp is. This thing
may be a mini-comic, but trash all the preconceived notions you have of the
mini. This thing is sharp, fun, and well done. So pitch a tent, roast the
marshmallows, and read this bad boy by fire light. You’ll get that
warm feeling all over. Promise!”
Mike Hawthorne, artist of Ballad of Sleeping Beauty, 30 Days in
Europe, Queen and Country and Whiskey Dickel as well as
the creator of Hysteria.

than most Big Two books on the shelves today.”

“Hero Camp is a novel idea I wish I’d thought of myself, written
and illustrated with style and affection. It’s fun and has wonderfully
interesting characters. There’s no reason it’s not a television
series right now!”
Todd Livingston, co-writer of Black Forest and Wicked
West.

very well put together package. I’d recommend it to anyone who enjoys
superhero books with a twist.”

“Hero Camp is the sort of comic you just want more of ! There needs to
be at least a 180 page graphic novel that you read and read till
you’ve memorized every line, every nuance, and then pass it off to a
friend and talk about it for years and years. Greg Thompson & Robbi
Rodriguez are true storytellers bringing something new and exciting back
into the comics medium.”
Jason Baroody, artist of Clockmaker Act 2.

“Search high and low, in both the indie and mainstream comics
titles… you won’t find many examples of what Hero Camp has to
offer. These guys are about storytelling, and they know their stuff. Fun,
accessible and above all, well-told… this book is a keeper!”
Ande Parks, inker of Green Arrow, Wonder Woman,
Superman, Catwoman and many others, writer of Union
Station and creator of Uncle Slam and Firedog.

“Hero Camp is a delight; my only complaint is that there isn’t
more of it. Here’s hoping some savvy publisher picks this one up and
gets it out to a broader audience.”
J. M. DeMatteis, writer of Abadazad, Formerly Known as the Justice
League, Moonshadow, Amazing Spider-Man, Daredevil,
Adventures of Superman, Marvel Team-Up, Spectre, and
many, many more.
“Do yourself a favor, let the folks have a summer to themselves and
enroll at Hero Camp. I never went to camp as a kid, but I wish I had if
it’s half as fun as this book. A great read with a lot of really fun
and interesting characterization. Robbi’s work makes leaps forward
with each page and I can’t wait to see the super size edition that
they’ve got planned. It’s kind of like having a slice of
saturday morning each time you read it.”
“A lot of times you’ll read a minicomic and think,
‘Wow, these guys have potential.’ What’s so impressive
about Hero Camp is that Greg and Robbi are realizing their potential at
a phenomenal rate. The book started off nicely enough. But each issue
kicks the story up a notch, and with each issue Robbi’s art gets
several steps better. It’s a damn fine read. And it’s fun,
which is too often a missing ingredient in modern comics. Its days as a
minicomic are numbered. Check it out!”
B. Clay Moore, writer of Hawaiian Dick and the upcoming Battle
Hymn and Five Dead Men.
