"It has a quality that invites you in to want to know about the character. I like that. It feels like you want to tell a story, not just do a pretty drawing."
Mike Kunkel
Creator of Hero Bear and the Kid
"The art is top-notch, you make me care about the characters, there's an actual plot, which is always a bonus, and you manage to keep the intrigue flowing. Your stuff is simply
fantastic and I can't wait to see what happens next -- three times a week
just isn't enough for me."
Jonathan Rosenberg
Creator of Goats: The Comic Strip
"It's so damned gorgeous it hurts my eyes. You obviously know how to lay out a page, and how to tell a story visually (as well as verbally). I'm in love with the thing and jealous all at the same time. I don't, as a rule, keep up with serial comics---especially not dramatic ones---but yours is automatically one of my
favorites."
Lee Herold
Creator of Chopping Block
"The way you have managed to nail so many subtle details... I CRAVE to see more."
Frank "Damonk" Cormier
Creator of Framed!
"I love your comic. It exudes drama, but not in an overbearing way. In some ways it gives me a warm and fuzzy feel much akin to when I hug my bedroom rug (an act which gets me many
strange looks mind you). "
Jason Dobson
Creator of Electric Toychest
"Jim Zubkavich has created a story that not only speaks to readers in and of itself (remember seeing Video Girl Ai the first time?), but I particularly dug the History section in which he shows the fits and starts this story took, which I can relate to heavily. MM is being called 'one to watch'."

"The Makeshift Miracle.... it's good stuff! The whole thing is just so yummy! I wish I had a biscuit to sop it up with so I could devour it and let it permeate my whole body!"

Creator of Silly Cone V
"Reading your comic gave me a feeling that I rarely get these days; a sense of wonder."
Janissary
From the PVP Forums
"The beauty of the artwork and the style of the storytelling brought a pang to my heart. Such a
combination is rare. I am intrigued, and utterly enamored of the aura of your comic. Comic. What an inappropriate word. When the phrase graphic novel was invented, it was meant for the Makeshift Miracle."
K.Sandra
Creator of Boy Meets Boy
"Some would argue that online comics are and will be
nothing more than freebie clones of printed media. To
these people only two words need to be uttered.
Makeshift. Miracle.
This coming of age story has itself come of age,
transcending the virtual medium in which it dwells and
exploiting the very limitations of it's natural
habitat to create a monocromatic color masterpiece.
This work of art inspires us all."
Jesse Duke
Maintainer of The Dark Pages

The Makeshift Miracle was awarded a 'This Comic Must Be Destroyed' Award by Kevin Wolf.
"Why an award winner? Check it out and discover for yourself. Currently the most intriguing comic online. The art is consistently unique and creative. The artist, Jim Zubkavich, is, by all evidence, a fine fellow. Of course, none of this will matter when Mr. Zubkavich is tasting the rubber of Mythocorp's crushing boot-heel! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"
