“Goldman’s ghost stories made the hairs on the back of my neck prickle, while the bawdy slapstick interludes served only to lure me into dropping my guard for the next scare. Highly recommended.” – Cory Doctorow, BOING BOING
"Dan Goldman's RED LIGHT PROPERTIES elevates creator-owned comics to another level. It’s incomparable in ambition, extraordinary in concept, and executed masterfully by a single mind. It’ll blow you away." – BloodyDisgusting.com
"A whip smart, pitch black comedy that pulls few punches and offers up a slew of supremely memorable, highly dysfunctional, yet surprisingly realistic characters. If you can look past the fact that they spend a good deal of their time dealing with the supernatural, the Tobins feel like people you know, which is a testament to Goldman’s ability as a storyteller." – Nerdist.com
“Dan Goldman has a voice & vision like nobody else in comics. . . . RECOMMENDED!” - John Layman, Creator of CHEW
“Hilarious .. A druggy blast inspired by Goldman’s heroes like Terence McKenna, Larry David and Wong Kar-Wai.” - Wired.com
“RED LIGHT PROPERTIES is what comics should be: trippy, fun and inventive.” - Chip Zdarsky, SEX CRIMINALS
"Goldman’s rollicking story, replete with photo and art mashups, is nicely executed and screamingly funny... This is the first in a new series — and your opportunity to get in on the ground floor." - The Miami Herald
“The equivalent of seeing a circus performer pull of a remarkable high-wire act while juggling weighty and disparate materials to create a unique spectacle.” - The Beat
“It’s part funny ghost story, part crazy business scheme, part relationship story, where eventually the supernatural aspect of the business takes a toll on the lead characters and their marriage.” - Publisher's Weekly
“Mixing the supernatural realm with an all-too-familiar world of marriage breakdowns, financial meltdowns and everyday horrors, the strip is more impressive work from the man behind Shooting War and 08: A Graphic Diary Of The Campaign Trail.” - TIME.com's Techland
"Recommended for adults seeking funky graphic novels about life, love, success, and ghosts." - The Library Journal
