This was a solid collection of varying comics across different themes and genres that each had their own story and style.
Not a single comic looked alike or read similarly to the last and I enjoyed that. Some were excerpts of a book, some in progress and some were new single comics and while I normally hate getting excerpts in anthology style books, it worked here.
The editors did an excellent job in the selections, that after reading these excerpts I want to go looking for the rest! All in all though there 9 of the comics I loved at first read, a few that were hard to read and made me skip, and others that were just solid but not a instant love which is ok.
