gnyeahyeah.com an interesting treatment of a tale which I'd imagine is unfamiliar to the majority of non-Irish readers, and I'd definitely suggest it's worth taking a look at! I'm certainly looking forward to the second and third in the series
gnyeahyeah.com genius
Irish Tatler Man Magazine through dynamic action and rich detail, the Corkman transports the reader to a brutal but accessible version of ancient Ireland ... slots neatly into the O’Brien Press’s growing line of graphic novels with historical bents ... more Avengers than Aosdana
Irish Examiner an easy introduction to epic Irish literature for adult and younger reader alike
Books Ireland perfect format for the retelling of one of Ireland’s most famous stories ... not one for purists, but a meaty undertaking nonetheless
Sunday Business Post a pure labour of love: a must read for any Irish comic fan!
thearcade.ie the pages of Celtic Warrior The Legend of Cú Chulainn serve as not only proof of the talent we have in this country but also act as a beautiful and astounding reminder of the wealth we have in Ireland when it comes to our own history and folklore ... we need something to remind us why Ireland is worth fighting for; Will Sliney has not just created a brilliant graphic novel but he has awoken the hero we all need

Irish Independent At Marvel, Cork’s Will Sliney has long since cemented himself as an institution with work on multiple Marvel Star Wars properties and Spider-Man 2099. Younger readers may recognise him from his stint doing drawing lessons for RTE’s Home School Hub, but another fine achievement is his mythical masterwork Celtic Warrior: The Legend of Cu Chulainn. Written and drawn by Sliney, it’s a great reworking of the Ulster Cycle, featuring Ireland’s own original superhero (and unapologetic murderer of large dogs)

A huge success
