Reception
On release, Famicom Tsūshin scored the Mega Drive version of the game a 30 out of 40. Comix Zone was positively received and praised for its gameplay, graphics and music. However, it was criticised for being too hard and too short. There have also been some arguments made that the game was released too late into the Mega Drive lifespan. By the time the game came out, the PlayStation and Sega Saturn were already released, meaning only few gamers heard about it and still fewer purchased it. However, based on the game's merits, the game has since received cult status.

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
