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:
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
“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)
