Praise for Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis

the distinctive visual look, including the costumes, production design and cinematography did generally draw praise, and could be seen as a strong foundation for a graphic novel presentation.
SF Chronicle

“Adapted by writer Ryall in close collaboration with Coppola, the script leans into allegory without sacrificing character depth. Artist Phillips (That Texas Blood) delivers rich, cinematic visuals with a textured palette that evokes both grandeur and decay—apt for a story straddling the hopeful and the dystopian.”
LIBRARY JOURNAL
