"Modern Masters Volume 27: Ron Garney continues publisher TwoMorrows' impressive series spotlighting the work and legacy of popular modern comic book artists. A wealth of Garney's black-and-white illustrations on almost every page and a sampling of color pages enhance this book- length interview with a talented and dedicated man about his work, including his well-known runs on such widely loved titles as "Captain America", "Hulk", "Wolverine", and "Weapon X". Garney's talent for portraying both action and emotion stands out in this engaging tribute enthusiastically recommended for any superhero comic fan who has ever loved his work." - James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review

"Khoury's interview with Garney works well, particularly since Khoury was working at Marvel during the time Garney was starting in comics. It's doubly interesting to get perspective from both sides of the editorial fence. From the transcript in this book, it sounds like Khoury told Garney about a thing or two that Garney hadn't even known. I wish more interviews these days had that kind of give and take. Garney talks candidly not just about his creative partners and who he didn't work well with, but also about his personal life (in vague terms, and I respect his privacy) and his missed opportunity at DC. If no other book does it for you, this is a good one for deglamorizing the comic book artist." - Augie De Blieck Jr., Comic Book Resources
