"The comic that I would have picked that month, though, was Shock Effect, by John Lang and Ian Daffern. That comic also started off with plenty of action, the but the creators took the time to put it into context. I knew right away that the girl I was looking at was a sympathetic character. I knew that society was breaking down in the face of an alien invasion. More details could be supplied later, but I had the tools I needed to follow the story."
Comic Book Resources praises Shock Effect's storytelling
June 2, 2009
"Each panel makes me want to make out with my monitor. That sounded strange, didn't it? Yeah, well, I do, as strange and awkward as it may be. Competitor John Lang's artwork is truly gorgeous. Beautiful, clean and all around solid. Alongside its beauty is its equally enchanting writer, competitor Ian Daffern, whose storytelling brings each panel to life flawlessly. I'm dying to know what happens next and yes, I hope it's picked for truly selfish reasons."

"Daffern gets points for depicting human characters that stand up to the monsters without disintegrating into the irrational panic seen too often in sci-fi or monster flicks."

"I’d also like to read more of Shock Effect, by John Lang and Ian Daffern, about a girl dealing with life under alien invasion. It’s a timely subject, with overtones of recent disasters in New Orleans and Iraq, given a fictionalized coating."
