Praise for Mano's graphic novel, The War in Heaven:

"A captivating story that delves into free will ... I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it." - Readers' Favorite (Doreen Chombu, 5-Star Review)

"Pages that at their best evoke, with clarity and vision, the majesty of heaven, the inner turmoil of Michael, and the urgency of Sotelo's ideas... A dramatic, allegorical graphic novel exploring emotions, struggles, and addictions." - BookLife (Publishers Weekly)

"Highly recommended for a wide audience... Librarians seeking graphic novel fantasy stories will find The War in Heaven a cut above most... marrying philosophical and psychological reflection to action-packed confrontations both physical and spiritual. [...]
