Garth Ennis:

"Darick's mastery of storytelling, character and humour shines through every page he draws, and it's this, combined with his innate professionalism, that makes him such a pleasure to work with." - Garth Ennis (Preacher, Punisher, Hellblazer, The Boys)

Greg Rucka:

"I have to say that our collaboration has been one of the most rewarding I've ever had in comics. I've rarely encountered such a strong collaboration with an artist. I can, truly, think of only one other artist that I've felt this immediately simpatico with about character and story and action. The detail and characterization he brought to Wolverine totally energized me. Darick consistently added all the right details, all the touches that, if I had scripted better, I'd like to think I would have put down on paper anyway, and that I know I wouldn't have."
   

- Greg Rucka (Author: Queen & Country, Wolverine, Wonder Woman, Batman, Smoker)

Roberto Aguirre Sacasa:

"In my brief time as a comics-scribe, I've been lucky enough to have worked with some of the greatest artists drawing today. Chief among them is Darick 'Nightcrawler' Robertson, whose enthusiasm, attention to detail, passion, and storytelling are literally jaw-dropping. Every panel is a pulp masterpiece, every page flows like cream. Also, he's a gentleman-artist and a total mensh."

- Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (4, Nightcrawler, Sensational Spider-man)

Ron Zimmerman:

"My comic book career was short lived or cut short depending on whom you talk to but the highlight next to having the legendary John Severin draw my Rawhide Kid books has got to be working with Darick on what is now a very rare one-shot called, "Spider-man, Sweet Charity." I begged Joe Quesada and Axel Alonso to put us together because I had been a longtime fan. This man is the spiritual and creative heir to the throne of John Buscema and Marie Severin, my personal two favorite artists of all time. No matter what the mood and tone, he captures it. From a an old time knuckleduster to Spidey and Jonah arguing like kids in a schoolyard, Darick makes every picture breath. In ten years, Darick will stand tall among the pantheon of the new millenniums greatest (and most ripped off. Sorry, dude. Price of brilliance) graphic fiction artists."

-Ron Zimmerman (The Howard Stern Show, Spider-Man: Sweet Charity, Rawhide Kid, 7th Heaven, Action!)

Wizard Magazine:

"Impressive, blockbuster work... a uniquely gritty style... Robertson wins new fans with each title he takes on."- Wizard Magazine
