4.0

As with all anthologies, I prefer some stories to others, but overall it was a fun ride. Art styles varied enough it was easy to tell where one story ended and another started and it had a wide range of people represented. Stories range from hard to soft sci fi/fantasy.

Highlights include:
Lia
Finders Keepers
Story of a Rescue
Granddad’s Second Wife
Way home...

That said, the stories vary widely in tone (from bleak social commentary to “Rick and Morty” adventure) and are quick reads, so it’s worth at least skimming them all.
