Praise for this book

"Subtle, haunting, and deft storytelling that has stuck with me for weeks after finishing the book. Blue is a master craftsman at comics and you don't want to miss this one; read it twice." -- Melanie Gillman, As the Crow Flies
"A swift poem of love and violence, a one-two punch - you won't know what hit you. Adversary captures complex things about early transition, about coming out, about the isolation and paranoia of 2020, in a way that few creators have been willing to do. Delliquanti has been a cartoonist to watch for a long time, but they've become one you have to watch." -- Isaac Fellman, Dead Collections
