"You Don't Say is more than just a collection of immaculate stories; it's also a glimpse at the evolution of one of today's most gifted storytellers." — Scott Snyder
"Haunting, poetic, and visually lyrical, You Don’t Say will get stuck in your head — you’ll be humming its tunes long after you’ve closed the book." — Becky Cloonan
"While the stories plunge readers into diverse situations... they are unified in an overarching theme: how do people reconcile themselves with the world? This question is both central to Powell’s work and highly relevant to teen readers. Elusive, ethereal, and compelling." — Booklist
"Powell’s powerful art eschews gentle shading for sharp lines and inky black pools that frame the emotional context... when the art and text come together, everything works." — Publishers Weekly
"Anything that Nate Powell writes and draws is pretty much a must-read... As a writer, he's both honest and compassionate, exploring topics like mental illness and childhood cruelty with authenticity. As an artist, he's inventive, expressive, and constantly shifting his style to suit the story." — Comics Alliance
