Laura Lannes’s friendly indie drawings in "Love" deliver a tale of domestic tension that takes a turn straight out of Lars von Trier. - Hyperallergic

Laura Lannes’ "Love" is the perfect comic to kick off the ensuing party of sex and death contained in this anthology. (...) The first page of Love is one of my favorite first pages of the past few years. This story that closely intertwines sex, power, and the abuse of both together begins with a demented boss staring off into smudgy, distorted blacks, then fades into a shot of her subordinate’s nipple, just barely seen through an identical blackness that comprises her dress. Lannes’ austere profiles mixed with the oppressiveness of these blacks visually establish the boss’s obsession with her employee. It also sets a strong precedent for how Lannes uses negative space, and even just white and black themselves, as vehicles for the story. - Comics Bulletin

Edited by Laura Lannes, this is a powerful collection of stories of survival. What's really remarkable about it is how well it stands up as a work of art, not just as a work of personal expression. From decorative touches like the hand-stenciled cover and gold cardstock underlay to the large variety of visual approaches the artists used, every woman in this book contributed something remarkable. (...) Lannes takes a minimalist approach in not only recalling the details of her abusive relationship, but other events that primed her for such abuse. Her use of negative space to represent the depth of her pain and astonishment is especially stark. - Rob Clough, High-Low Comics
