Interesting to see early Mignola's artwork, and how you can see his current style developing in the latter part of this collection.

I knew I loved Mignolas Batman, making him a shadow. But his Superman? Wow I didn’t realize Superman would look so good in his style. What I appreciated from this collection was a lot of it was comics I definitely would not have read alone. And they were very interesting stories that expanded my expectations for what comics could be. I now know I need to read Batman black and white!

It's great for filling in the gaps in Mignola's DC work, but it doesn't contain some of his best DC stuff that is in print in other collections, including Cosmic Odyssey and Gotham By Gaslight. I understand the reasoning, but don't mistake this for a comprehensive anthology.
