(Press Release)

"Like for our previous books, we put our heart and soul into The Least We Can Do," said Zanfardino. " This time, we also put some fighting, magic, thirst for justice, blood, revenge, and many buff women into it! This post-apocalyptic dystopian world sprung up inside me, demanding to be narrated. All the characters came alive in my head and, what was particularly exciting with this story, was that the complexity of the plot all came together very naturally for me. Did I love writing this story? Hell yes! I really hope you'll love reading it!"

Romboli added: "It feels great to finally be able to reveal what we’ve been working on for all these months! Drawing The Least We Can Do pages has been an opportunity to work on so many different narrative situations, story moods, and showcase bodies we don't see often in the media. I'm very proud of how it turned out! I'm sure readers will love all the singular characters of this new world. And I bet they will be looking forward to seeing what happens next!"

REVIEWS:
"The Least We Can Do gives you the most you could want from a comic. The organic and charming world-building of Zanfardino and Romboli's unique United Kingdom plus perfect pacing provided the best comic reading experience I've had in a while. Elisa Romboli's art is fantastic as always. The color palettes are beautiful; this might be Iolanda Zanfardino's best writing yet. It's clear that The Least We Can Do was lovingly crafted with meaningful imagery and masterfully researched to craft its characters into the themes of this splendid tale. Their magic may be called Medium, but this story is much larger than that. "
J. Michael Miller - Kaldani Spires, Artificial Intolerance

"Uriel has her own "unique" take on what the right thing to do is, stuck in a world that not only doesn't believe in her, but also shuns reading. But our protagonist has a hunger for knowledge, a plan to build a better world, and a determination to follow through. Iolanda Zanfardino's ability to write such an invigorating character was only further complimented paired with Elisa Romboli's vibrant colors and designs. This duo came swinging out the gates and left me hungry for more!"
Cody - Keeping it Geekly

 "For all the cynicism in the world, there are still rare gems that remind us good is worth doing. TLWCD is one such gem, glowing with striking artwork and impressive worldbuilding. I adore this comic wholeheartedly." 
Fell Hound - Commander Rao

"The Least We Can Do has colorful visuals, energetic pacing until the end of the issue, and the cherry on top is that it features a protagonist that is driven by morals and her intellect in a violent, dystopian world. If you like unique, socially conscious takes on the fantasy genre, beefy resistance fighters, or shelves and shelves of books, then this comic is one to check out."
Logan Dalton - Graphic Policy

"The Least We Can Do #1 is much bigger than the Medium, which is nothing but a plot device; instead, it wants to expose the wishes from the deepest corner of one's heart."
Sayantan Gayen - CBR

"A fascinating story of a post-apocalyptic world full of magic, military regimes, rebels fighting for their cause and very strong Mad Max meets Divinity: Original Sin vibes. Once more I am amazed at how these works so seamlessly weave in amazing and genuine pieces of representation for those with physical disabilities and for POC individuals with a variety of looks and all are valid and all are beautiful.
There are hot women, hot men, ACTION and more!"
Amanda - Fangirlnation

"Visually stunning and packed with clever ideas, this is another fascinating collaboration from one of the hottest creative teams in the business today. The least you can do is give it a look. Sorry, couldn’t resist."
