Reviews
"Mulholland and Nalty's artwork provides a lively assist and brings the action on the pages to life. With a solid emotional core, this soccer comic will score goal after goal in the hearts of its readers."-- "Booklist"
"World Class is an exciting sport comic for young adults. There is such an exhilarating power to the story and the characters that the reader very quickly warms and grows to care for them. Where Roy of the Rovers or Ball Boy from The Beano showcased football culture in England, Sandlin showcases how wide-ranged this sport is. And on the whole, it succeeds with some riveting matches. It could also be very easily be adapted into other formats."-- "But Why Tho?"
"World Class has everything readers didn't know they could want from a sports series. From compelling, rich characters, to art that instills excitement through its panel work, this is one title to keep an eye on."-- "Monkeys Fighting Robots"
"Overall World Class is an exciting visual spectacle backed up by fantastic storytelling from a master of comics. I thoroughly recommend this YA graphic novel for young adults and adults alike. Don't sleep on this new sports graphic novel that will keep you entertained and cheering from the side-lines!"-- "Emerald Reviews"
"With a story combining good friends, strong role-models, talent and above all else, hard work, Maverick's World Class scores with a strong narrative and exciting visuals."-- "Geek Vibes Nation"
