"If this were a real video game, I’d want to play it. Until then, I’ll make do by reading it again and again. Joe’s artwork is a neon fever dream that speaks volumes to this 90s kid. Beat Every 1-Up is at once nostalgic and fresh with tons of Easter eggs that any gamer will appreciate. It’s big, bright, and funny with a heart of neon!"

– Jarrett Melendez, author (Chef's Kiss)

"Beat Every 1-Up is like a kinetic love letter to the SNES era of gaming, with a great love story and incredible world-building. I want more comics like this!"

– Joe Eisma, artist (Student Government, The Other/Half)

"This book dazzles with video game-inspired style. An action packed ride that adventure fans will love!"

– Ben Kahn, author (Monster High: House Haunters, Mr. Muffins)

"Beat Every 1-Up understands the reason we fell in love with games in the first place. A worthy addition to the lineage of princesses leading the rescue, it carves out its own space with humor, heart, and retro flair."

– Stephanie Williams, author (Nubia and the Amazons, Temporal)

"Beat Every 1-Up is a great comic. It's a love letter to video games and Saturday Morning Cartoons, and the giant worlds full of strange myths and lore we all tore into as kids. But it's far from just that. It's the big, angry, gay, progressive scream of a generation of nerds fighting to make the world we live in as cool, queer, and neon as the ones we always believed were possible. It's the brightly-colored retro-futuristic flaming punch fighting its way out of our collective guts."

– Jeremy Whitley, author (Navigating With You, Princeless)
