Just a quick jaunt through something new from Anthony Bourdain. This first episode of three hits middle of the table. Nothing amazing but not terrible. A quick read of about 15 minutes. Three more episodes to come and I definitely love the concept of the Japanese ghost story samurai game. It appears to be on an uphill trek. Definitely keenly awaiting the next release.

The pictures and Anthony Bourdain's name are what drew me to this book. While the colorful panels of weirdness and gore were entertaining to look at the story itself was very dry and unimaginative.

Not sure what I expected but I think it was a weird read. Don't think I will read anymore from him

I like the premise, and the art seems dynamic and fun, but the mini stories don't seem to be connecting with me yet. I'll see how I feel with issue 2.

It's not bad, but I found the stories predictable.

I've been meaning to read this since Anthony Bourdain passed away and finally got time to. This collection of short stories written and drawn by some of the top horror artists creates an amazing chronological collection. The stories range in horror and gore and some are stomach churning enough to put you off food for a while. The eulogy at the end for Anthony Bourdain is a great tribute to the world-famous chef who inspired so many, and the inclusion of his recipes that were based off the stories in the collection are a great finishing touch. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys horror, or anyone who wants a great gift for a fan of Anthony Bourdain.

Sorry, Anthony Bourdain but the Junji Ito collection and Image Comics' "Wayward" are way better than this collection of yokai and kwaidan tales. Still reading #2 though. Let's see if it gets better.
