This was my first comic anthology and it was nice. The format worked better for some stories more so than others. Usually I fly through graphic novels but the serious nature of the stories made me slow down. Killing and Dying was an especially beautiful story and really stood out to me from the rest of the stories told here. The hortisculpture story is by far the worst one and does not have well developed characters- get past it and the rest are better. I would be interest in this format again, but with stories that were just as emotionally strong as killing and dying. They were good but just not as stand out- still worth the read!
