 Review 
"I gave The Patriot List five stars. I would definitely read more volumes from this author featuring these characters. Even without any of the better-known heroes of the Marvel Universe involved, it was still a very enjoyable read." -- Chris L. Owens\n"I found myself actually cheering for the bad guys. Yes, S.H.I.E.L.D has always been questionable, but Guymer makes the villains so likeable that you really do want to see them succeed. Really reinforcing the fun, you can have being the bad guy." -- What You Tolkien About\n"This is absolutely one of the greatest uses of a license ever. This book reads like what all tie-ins should: a lost arc... This is in every word a Dark Avengers story. This is the absolute dream this column exists for. That it’s fleshing out a series I thought needed more is the best part." -- The Omniplex\n"Dark Avengers, The Patriot List is an action packed, dark, and wonderfully fun book that takes readers back to a unique time in the Marvel universe." -- Trans-Scribe\n"The story is fast-paced, full of action and mayhem as well as characters struggling with their own inner demons." -- Martin's View
