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:
“Aesthetic emotion puts man in a state favorable to the reception of erotic emotion.... Art is the accomplice of love. Take love away and there is no longer art.”
—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
“Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“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)
