“Wait, this comic is about a group that robs from mega-churches and gives the money to charity? That’s cool as hell! This comic is really great!” —Robert Kirkman
“The Tithe‘s aim is true—targeting the hypocrisy born of naivete.
As such it will piss off a lot of people. My only regret is that I didn’t write it. Well, done, Mr. Hawkins!” —Jim Valentino
