“Huizengas work is restrained and even playful in its approach but wildly ambitious in terms of its content, and he continues to successfully mine work left untouched by other cartoonists.” –Rob Clough, who selects Ganges #4 as one of his top 15 comic books of 2011 on his High-Low blog.

“Huizenga works in visual motifs of endlessly branching possibilities and spiraling shapes, showing how becoming “lost in thought” can be terrifying. In short: This is another terrific installment of a series that’s fast becoming a classic.” –Noel Murray, The Onion A.V. Club

“Ganges #4 is the Godfather Part II of comics about insomnia: the rare sequel that tops the already excellent original.” –Sean T. Collins, The Comics Journal

“I thought this comic was an amazing masterpiece, an innovative and thrilling exploration of the potential of this crazy artform. Its truly breathtaking, if you really, really, really love comics.” –Jason Sacks, Comics Bulletin
