--Tony Daniel, (Teen Titans, The Tenth)

"Kevin Conrad has long been one of the greatest inkers in the game, and I think we all knew he was really much more than that. He's got such a solid sense of storytelling structure, he's really one of the best pencilers in the game as well, and it's wonderful to see his full talents shine
through."
