"If you're into getting the daylights scared out of you, this will sit happily alongside any compendiums containing tales of nuclear end-games, the zombie apocalypse, or alien invasions." - Alex Haas, IndyComicReview.com
"The appeal in such anthologies is that you never quite know what you’re going to get, and 2012: Final Prayer has horror, humour and utter weirdness in spades. It’s a pleasing hark back to an era of science fiction and fantasy storytelling that thrived on big, abstract ideas rather than the theoretical science behind them." - Carl Doherty, ShelfAbuse.com
"Say your final prayers because 2012 is coming! This book is chock full of terror, chills and thrills that will leave you breathlessly asking: What will happen on December 21, 2012? A roller-coaster ride of an anthology!" - Marie D. Jones, Best-Selling Author of 2013: The End of Days or a New Beginning?
"A dandy concept for graphic fiction that remains true to James Warren's independent spirit, with illustrated stories a bit edgier than the mainstream. I'd much rather re-read this book a third time than watch Roland Emmerich's movie even once." - Rod Lott, Bookgasm.com
"This is a great collection of original stories by some amazing writers and artists. You know I say 'give me some monsters and I will tell you how funny they are,' but if you make me think about the world ending, now you've got me scared!" - "Decapitated Dan" Royer, From The Tomb magazine
"I'd certainly recommend 2012: Final Prayer to anyone who is looking for a multitude of different stories, viewpoints, and takes on not only the horror-genre aspect of things, but also the whole '2012' debate in general. It's a great read that blends a lot of smart stories and great writing with a hot topic in the world today." - Nicky Jones, Horror Movies & Stuff website
"I love things that creep me out, but also make me go, 'oh, that was just lovely.' 2012 did just that. Underneath all of it was such a level of art and beauty that it could not be denied that even the grossest of moments were completely exhilarating...I remain a big fan and cannot wait to see what Heske Horror puts out next because I am going to be at the front of the line for a copy." - Valorie Tucker, Morbid Romantic blog
"Heske seems to be able to get a good mix of styles as far as the artists go and, though some of the stories don't hit my G spot (what is that, exactly?), the whole does combine to make a GREAT anthology and, I'm sure, another winner for Heske Horror." - Terry Hooper, ComicBitsOnline
"2012: FINAL PRAYER is about as much fun as the apocalypse can be. The stories range from the surreal to the standard, with art that dances between cartoony and hyper-realistic. In other words, at 154 pages, and with nearly 20 full stories, there is something here for everyone. Several somethings." - Sebastian Piccione, Project Fanboy
"Robert Heske has once again assembled a very talented tribe of artists, writers and letterists who each, in their turn, takes the stage between the pages of this provocative book and performs their interpretation of 'the end'." - Lillian Hawkins, Gothic Blend
