3 Chicks Review Comics – Kelly and Sue

“This is exactly the sort of book Marvel or DC should be putting out but they’re not…I’d recommend it for anybody from like 5 or 6 to their thirties.

A Speeding Bullet - Memlu

“Skipping Princeless would be an awful mistake. It’s funny and heartfelt and thoughtful, too, and it’s blown away nearly every other ongoing title I’m reading. Please do give it a look!”

Big Planet Comics Podcast -

“A very cool comic.  Kid friendly and…well, it’s awesome!  That’s pretty much it.  It’s great.”

Blue Fairy’s Bookshelf – Lindsay

“characters with heart and warmth, a world with fascinating corners we’ve barely glimpsed, and an utterly charming story about a princess off to save the day. ‘

Broken Frontier – Jason Wilkins

“A funny, exuberant all-ages debut from Whitley, Goodwin, and Belton, Princeless is priceless and an excellent way for kids and parents to while away a rainy summer afternoon.”

Cammy’s Comic Corner – Jules Rivera

“If you support one indy comic this year, it needs to be Princeless!  I’m going to be shouting about this book until I don’t have a voice left to shout with.”

Claire Reads – Claire Frith

“I am not a huge comic-book reader. Not that I have anything against them, I just don’t really read them.  BUT THIS ONE WAS FANTASTIC!!”

Comic Alliance – Chris Sims

“More than anything else, it’s a smart comic, and one of those solid all-ages books that never talks down to its audience…there’s no way around it:  Princeless is charming.”

Comic Attack – Drew McCabe

“The art by is good and suits the material well. The real strength of the book is the writing , which wields a good tale with some witty dialog that keeps the pages moving and enjoyable”

Comic Book Bin – Andy Frisk

“Overall, Princeless is unique. There isn’t a series about a dark skinned princess who rides her pet dragon into the sky in search of adventure. It will be fun to see where they take the spunky Princess Adrienne in future issues.”

Comic Book Critic – Carlos

“Although this is an all-ages comic, it doesn’t mean it’s just for kids. Everyone from 5 to 50+ will enjoy this series. The writing is smart and witty and the art is very appealing.”

Comic Book of the Month Podcast - Dylan, Keith, and Vicky

“A way for seven year old girls out there…to have fun with (comics) and it’s still appropriate for them.”

Comic Book Resources (CBR) – Kelly Thompson

“Overall, this is an exceptional book and the best kind of all-ages comic: one fun for kids, but still with plenty of depth and humor for adults. “Princeless” is a must-read comic, regardless of your age.”

Comic Book Therapy – Kai Charles

“This book is suitable for all ages and a wonderful book to share with your children or enjoy on your own. I loved the themes of independence and being your own “Prince“. It takes a very talented team to produce an enjoyable read, along with subtly introducing themes of self reliance and independence. I’m so excited to see where Adrienne’s adventures take her.”

Comic Booked – Lee Gordon

“… it doesn’t matter where you find the book, either a back issue bin, or the trade coming out. This is a fun, must-read.”

Comic Shoppe Show Podcast- Captain Kirk Daryll B and Dburt

“I’m glad that there’s one (a modern take on fairy tales) being made that involves people of color”

Comics Bulletin - Keith Silva

“ Adrienne’s goal to “save her sisters” was bigger than she knows, it’s more than a goal; it’s a philosophy and a call to arms writ large.”

Comics Cube – Duy Tano

“…after I read it, I immediately read it to my six-year-old niece, doing voices for all the characters. I’m proud to say that she didn’t require many explanations, and she was smiling and laughing the whole way through.”

Comics Detective

“Our only criticism is that we want more”

Comics Forge – Ted Brown

“This miniseries has all the ingredients to become a highly successfully and well-known franchise, I would highly advise parents with small children pick up Princeless, I would also recommend this series for readers who simply prefer reading family friendly material that is filled to the brim with humor and intelligently crafted characters.”

Comics Girl - Eden

“it’s all too easy to feel frustrated by the sorts of images that are given to girls (and boys!) — particularly in comics, but also in all media — that it gives me hope when something like Princeless comes along. It is, if nothing else, an entertaining comic to read, but it’s all the more powerful because it also has something to say.”

Comics Should Be Good – Kelly Thompson

“ It’s wonderful fun and the art is absolutely fantastic.  Full of popping color, expressive characters, and flawless fluid storytelling.  It’s one of my favorite new books around”

Comics, The Blog! – Brandon Schatz

“The story is funny and beguiling, with writer Jeremy Whitley deftly using story, characters and plot to needle the subject matter, without ever stopping things cold to wag his finger. First and foremost, Princeless is a story, and not a message – which is why it works so well.”

Comics Worth Reading – Johanna Draper-Carlson

“I was concerned that it would difficult to come up with another modern take on the idea of the fairy tale princess, but Whitley and Goodwin have done it…this is the sort of book that should be in libraries and homes, fondly re-read every so often”

Covers to Sleep Under – Melissa

“If I could get you to read one book and only one book this week, I would give you Princeless #1, and I wouldn’t even blink.”

Crisis on Infinite Midlives – Pixiestyx

“If you haven’t read Princeless, stop reading this review and go buy them.  This is my kind of princess”

Exploring the Multiverse – Victor

“A very cute all ages book.  The art is great.”

Fandom Post – Maria Selke

“This is a fun story with a great embedded message. As a teacher and a parent, I’m thrilled to see stories like this hit the stands.”

FFFIC Comic Book Reviews – Sebastian

“Really cool independent gravy!”

Geek Brunch -

“It’s really really good.  The artwork is good.  The writing is good.  It’s funny and exciting and you should pick it up”

Geek Girl Con – Anna Daniell

“If you haven’t picked up a copy of Princeless yet, you are really missing out.”

Geek Mom – Nicole

“Not only is this story fun and engaging, Princess Adrienne is a great role model for girls. She does not expect to be saved by some Prince, and in fact, really never wanted a prince to save her in the first place. She fights to take charge of her own destiny and is a wonderful lesson in never giving up or surrendering your fate.”

Geeking Out Weekly – Jim

“If you wanna try something a littl…a lot different and a lot of fun check this book out PLEASE!  It’s simply fantastic.”

Geeks of Doom – Willie Gillis

“One of my favorite indy comics coming out…if you’re looking for something different, you should check out Princeless”

Girl Gamer – Jessica

“This is one of the few cleverly (and humorously) written fictional stories that portray a female protagonist in the right way.”

Girls Read Comics Too – Chantaal Elliot

“when someone like Adrienne comes along in a comic like Princeless, it makes me giddy. I picture all those young girls out there who look for girls who look like them in the things they love, and it makes me so happy to have a comic like this exist.”

Herospy – Shawn Swanson

“There are so many reasons to love this comic…The illustrations and writing are a joy to behold for sure, but it goes so much deeper. The main character is a strong female role model, as a father of two young daughters I appreciate that… In a marketplace filled with superhero comics Whitley and Goodwin decided to create an all-ages fantasy book, not only is this a bold move, it’s brave.  By going against the grain they have created a comic jam-packed with originality and loaded with the kind of brilliance which not only makes a comic worth reading, but a comic worth loving, and supporting.”

Houston Press – Jef

“one of only two books that have thus far earned a perfect 10 out of 10 on our scale”

Interested in Sophisticated Fun – Keith P Silva

Princeless is fun, whimsical and playful. Most of all, Princeless inspires. It spurs the reader to draw or to run around the house with an old Superman towel tied around his neck and act out scenes from the story. My daughter likes it too.”

Kitty’s Pryde – Troy Osgood

“Whitley’s story is excellent, fun and well crafted. Adrienne is very strong willed but still comes across as a young woman.  4.5 out of 5.”

Life Imitates Comics – Kristen

“ It’s funny, it’s smart, and it’s one of those titles that will engage readers of any age.  I’d suggest picking up all of the issues you can get your hands on.”

Monkey on my Back – Jon Shepherd

“As a book Princeless is a huge amount of fun & a great way to introduce that hyperactive child you’ve got running around into sitting still & reading something.  While it is clearly aimed at a female demographic the book has a message that is universal & it’s the message that I dig most about Princeless”

Moongen Comics – James Dinsmore

“This comic book is suitable for all ages and fans of Disney-like fairy tales will get a kick out of it. I give Princeless #1 a solid A.”

Nerdy Nothings – Eric Garneau

Princeless is a smart, funny, great-looking and action-packed series. If I had a comic-reading daughter, I’d make sure this was at the top of her pull list every month.”

Ms. Comix – Angie Spoto

“I want my little sister to read this comic. I want my future daughter to read this comic. I want you to go out and read this comic and then go out and read this comic to the little girl or boy in your life.”

New Readers, Start Here – Saranga

“You should buy this for your daughters, nieces and granddaughters.  Hell, buy it for your sons, nephews and grandsons.  Buy it for your friends’ kids.  Buy it for your school and local libraries!”

Omnicomic – Jonathan Pilley

“The series seeks to subvert the status quo of fairy tales on its head and, based on the first issue, it’s off to a great start.”

Panel Patter – Rob McMonigal

“”this story is less about how we portray women in fiction and more about how Adrienne just wants to be her own person, with her own life, free to make her own decisions. The fact that this desire just so happens to fly in the face of convention and the gender stereotypes we reinforce on an almost daily basis in children’s and young adult fiction is a natural outgrowth of that desire.”

Player Affinity – Nicole D’Andria

“ there is more to this indie than meets the eye…Give it a read if you enjoy fantasy, humor and girl power”

Previews – Daria Medved

“I love that Princeless defies fairy tale conventions and pokes fun at all the plot holes in the princess/prince stories we grew up with. It offers an empowering story staring an unconventional heroine both girls and boys can relate to. Though this is geared towards a younger market, it is also smart enough to entertain adults. The art is wonderfully drawn with every imaginable shade of pink under the sun – and lush purples, too!”

Pull List Podcast – Craig

“It’s a lot of fun, very smart.  A lot of smart dialogue and great art.”

Racebending – Tony Le

“With its excellent writing and stellar art, Princeless is a must-read.  It’s no surprise that Princeless is up for several comic book awards this year, including the 2012 Eisner Awards and the 2012 Glyph Comics Awards.”

Reverse Thieves – Narutaki

“The series is very humorous from Adrienne’s voice and observations. I’m looking forward to reading more!”

School Library Journal/Good Comics for Kids - Lori Henderson

Princeless is a tale that will appeal to both boys and girls with a strong female lead filled with sass and swashbuckling action.”

Sequential Tart – Amanda Tarbet

“I predict that young fans everywhere will be drawing their own versions of Adrienne. However, Princeless is not only for young readers. Grown-ups will be entertained, too, and there is an opportunity for children and adults to read this book together and both enjoy it.”

Sequential Tart - Holly von Winckel

“Although PrinceLess is a story for kids, gender roles and how we get into them have become such a hot button that maybe this would also be a good read for parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and babysitters. Or, maybe just a good one for teachers and other folks who work with kids, to make them more aware of how traditional behavior isn’t always the greatest idea, and show them what can happen when a kid is ready to do things on their own terms.”

Sequential Tart – Rebecca Buchanan

“Rockin’ girl power fairy tale. There need to be more comics like Princeless.”

Sequential Tart – Sheena McNeil

“If it were out, I’d buy the whole series right now!”

She Has No Head! - Kelly

“Best YA Series (of 2011)”

Spandexless – Patrick Smith

“Princeless is a great all-ages comic with a great sense of humor that is well worth your time and money. So pick up some copies if you can, but if you don’t I can’t promise that you won’t become dragon food.”

Stumptown Trade Review -

“I was a little worried that the pink cover and the appearance of a princess would be off-setting to my dress-in-black-all-the-time tween.  But I found her poring over the book, laughing at the the jokes and admiring the art.”

Too Dangerous for a Girl – Martin Gray

“Princeless is a splendid palate cleanser for superhero lifers like me. I can’t wait until it’s collected – it’s the perfect gift for your little princess. Especially if she’s in a tower, bored.”

Total Fan Girl – Nicole Wakelin

“The story and whimsical style will appeal to both adults and kids and Princess Adrienne’s trusty dragon will have everyone longing for one of their own. ”

Two Bit Podcasters – Brian Roberts

“ A reminder that the stereotype that comics are reserved for superheroes is flat out wrong, Princeless reinforces the notion that comics deserve diversity.”

Ultra Friends Go! – Harold Jenett

“I love the story idea.  It’s entertaining.  It’s funny.  I actually laughed out loud and I can’t wait to read it to my daughter.  I was very impressed by it.  It’s a great product…boy, did I sound like a marketing director right there.

The Underground (Comic Attack) – Infinte Speech

“Many people ask the question: “How do you get a younger reader into comics?” Well folks, Princeless is one of the answers to that question.”

Valkyrie Squadron – Jules Rivera

“Books like Princeless are exactly what the comics industry needs right now. It makes you laugh, it makes You think and it’s a shot in the arm and a kick in the ass. We don’t need any more superheroines (or whatever passes for one these days). What we need is a tough, Princeless princess.”

What’cha Reading? – Chuck Suffel

“My daughter won’t be reading this book for a couple of years (she’s only 5) but I think I’ll be buying the series to save for her. If the rest of the issues is a written with the same positive, action packed vibe and drawn as beautifully it will be a great addition to her education.”
