A nice range of techniques and styles, but the stories they illustrate tend toward the ho-hum. I'm grateful for the "Now" series, and the eclectic range of storytelling Eric Reynolds, the editor, has a taste for. There is consistency within the series in that regard, and some issues are stronger than others in how well the mesh story with illustration.
Some to remember, some to forget, but all weird!

Some good ones in here but plenty of pieces that fell short for me. Most hit and miss one yet.
I discuss Fantagraphics' Now: New Comics anthology series in this entry of Harris' Tome Corner.
Like most anthologies I didn't like everything but there was a very good ratio in this issue. My favourites were the stories by Maria Medem, Tommi Parrish, and Julian Glander.
Always love the covers with this series.
This volume was great for the most part. Hancock’s cover was fantastic. All of the artists (19 in total) were unknown to me accept Parrish, Muradov, and Ellsworth. Walt Holcolmbe’s piece was my favourite by far. Funny, great art and bizarre storytelling. A close second was J.C. Menu who is a big deal in France (L’Association) but he was off my radar. I’m looking forward to Volume 5.
I really liked it, it give me the opportunity of read some artists that I wouldn't have the chance of reading otherwise like Maria Medem.But it has the importunity of having a comic by Diego Agrimbau an artist from my country who is a very well know violent men, he has a history of defending publicly accused domestic abusers, violent friends of him and revictimizing the victims of the abuser, insulting them, gas-lighting them, etc, so, it was sad to see him there, and it's sad to see that every
it's always interesting to see the different artists and styles with comic anthologies :0 i only really liked a couple of them.
