Reception
The comic series was well received by critics scoring an average rating of 9.2 for the entire series based on 13 critic reviews aggregated by Comic Book Roundup. It received a starred review from Library Journal where Michael Dudley praised the glowing colors and found that although the characters were not subtle, the real-world story of the problems faced by immigrants was "both humanist and hopeful." Publishers Weekly called the art "wittily illustrated" and also found the colors vivid, ultimately comparing it to the best sci-fi for the story's handling of contemporary debates on immigration policy.
