You know the standard caveat about anthologies having a range of quality in stories and having to read a bunch of bad ones to find the good? Doesn't apply to this book. Out of the 49 stories (over 460 pages), only one or two failed to connect on any level. For the vast majority, even when either the story or art wasn't to my taste, the other component amazed me. And several of the entries had such excellent story AND art that I became an instant fan of their creators.
This is a huge (450 pages) collection of short comic stories. The quality differs throughout the volume but overall it's just very cool to read and watch all these different artistic styles. The book was sitting on my bed side table waiting patiently for me every night for 6 months or so to offer me the occasional comic story before sleeping.I must say that the art is more satisfying than the story telling which can be a real turn off at times (the story about the gay couple having some genital
not as good as the first. that sucks. highlights include WOLF AND BUG, RAGAZZA PIPISTRELLO (didn't understand it, but i know i liked it) SHE CAME FROM VENUS (probably my favorite). nixon makes two appearances in this volume for some reason. hmm... yeah. it's just okay.
Not so impressive as the first volume. The production values are there, everything looks great again, and there's definitely some solid content, but there seems to be a bit more run of the mill stuff this time around, and it makes for a less entertaining volume in general. Also, there's no really stand-out story, nothing that would make you say "You really need to read this book, just for THIS...", and while that's not a must, it helps an anthology differentiate itself from all the others.
I read this over the course of two months or so. To read all in one go is just too much, but spread out in nice weekly doses it's highly enjoyable. And it gives one the chance to reread 'bastard road' every week.In general this volume is not as great as the first volume, but it still features some great stuff.
