What people have to say!

Comical Opinions praised the inaugural issue for its atmospheric storytelling:​

"AVALON #1 is an effective, atmospheric zombie story to give you the willies just in time for Halloween." 

"Starocci and Dingfelder wisely focus on establishing the main characters, complete with emotional baggage, to set the stage for their motivations and actions when the situation turns ugly."

In an interview with Portable Hole Publishing, Brandon Starocci discussed the thematic depth of "Avalon," emphasizing its focus on mental health within a post-apocalyptic setting:

"Avalon is a comic series that focuses on mental health in a post-apocalyptic zombie world."

"We really tell in a diverse way where each character has a lot of depth where they could feel as if they are a main character." 

In an episode of the Zombie Book Club podcast, the hosts and Starocci discussed the visual portrayal of the infected:​

"If I had to describe it based on the artwork, I'd say like foamy zombies, bubbly zombies... because they just always have like bubbly, foamy blood coming out of their eyes and mouth."
