Reception
The Phoenix Requiem was nominated for 11 awards at the 2008 Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards, including Outstanding Comic. Top Web Comics has put Phoenix Requiem as the most popular webcomic on their site as of September 2008. Like its predecessor Inverloch, The Phoenix Requiem has received praise for its artwork. On the other hand, it was criticized early on for the slow pacing of its first volume. Richard Pulfer of Broken Frontier called the first volume of the comic "a fantastic-looking online graphic novel moving at a snail's pace," but stated that as the comic has progressed the characters have become more dynamic and the story more profound.
In 2008, The Phoenix Requiem won the award for Best Art in Frumph.net's WebComic Readers Choice Awards.
