"In essence, what I think James Turner set out to do with this book was to give us something that was almost totally unique, and to my mind, he absolutely succeeded...I really haven't seen a book so refreshingly unique in a long, long time, and it's put a big smile on my face ever since I finished reading it. Please don't make the mistake of passing this book up. Harass your comic shop to get this for you (or order it direct from Slave Labor Graphics), set aside a day or two to take it all in, boil up a pot of coffee, get a danish, and then settle back and enjoy Rex Libris: "I Librarian". You'll be glad you did."

Matthew Bylsma, Cellar Door

"What a strange comic this is. I mean strange in the best sense, and while you're probably expecting this to be a humor comic with the description above, it's not actually a laugh riot. It's amusing, but in ways you'd never expect...So at once, this issue is a dry, absurdist comedy about a librarian fighting evil one book at a time, a fantasy about what fallen gods get up to once they're relegated to mythology, and a satire about publishers whose heads are so far up their tuccus that they think they're going to "reinvent" comics by doing the same damn thing everyone else has done. If you're looking for a meaty, unusual comic, seek this one out."

Andrea Speed, Comixtreme

"Rex Libris is a seriously odd comic. For one thing, it's a comic within a comic. Or rather, it's a comic book story within equally fictional comic book packaging. It's a bit complicated."

"Buy it. Enjoy it. It's a book that deserves to be read. And re-read."

Joe Hillard, Popthought

"If for some reason I went destitute and could only afford to buy one comic book this month, Rex Libris would be it. Action, humour, history, absurdity, metaphysics, hyper-stylized art - what's not to like? If you've been looking for something different, well, this is different. But it's also pretty damn good."

Graig Kent, CHUD Review

"...Turner occasionally fills nigh-entire pages with text, which can overwhelm the reader. It's always very entertaining and well-written text, but it still seems excessive at times. Rex Libris, for all its ridiculous concepts and general silliness, is still a book for people who want to read and think; the humour on display here lies a good deal above "Man Hit With Football in Groin". It's played entirely straight for the most part, and the jokes are seldom spelled out for the audience.... Rex Libris may take a while to absorb and fully appreciate, but it's certainly worth the effort. Not entirely unlike the Dewey Decimal System, but a good deal more fun."
