Reviews
Silver Bullet Comics
Shouldn't You Be Working? #2 deemed "hilarious" by Amos Simien.
Comic Book Bin
"Not since Peter Bagge blew the rough off the mutha with NEAT STUFF has a cartoonist come out swinging like this. This is hilarity defined."
Portland Mercury
"Portajohnny actually emerges from the maggot-infested gutter where most things of its ilk reside, because, like Sam Raimi's Evil Dead, while it's truly horrifying, it's also sidesplitting."
ComicReaders.com
"For all its depravity, Ryan is having fun with his work. This is dark, lowbrow humour, not mean humour. Laughing at Ryan's work doesn't make you a bad person."
Bandoppler
"Johnny Ryan is HOT FUCKING SHIT."
