4.0

I really enjoyed this uneven compilation of Marvel-based comics written by "underground" artists. The stories by Gilbert Hernandez and Harvey Pekar are the best by far, followed by the stories by Kate Beaton, Gene Yang and Kevin Huizenga. Sadly, other big names such as Jhonen Vasquez and Nicholas Gurewitch seemed to have just phoned it in. Some other stories by other people I don't know were pretty mean and/or boring.
