I saw the cover of this anthology in my local comic book store and picked it up immediately. I'm always drawn to anthologies, especially when they're comic anthologies, because I really enjoy seeing different artists' and writers' work bound together in one issue. It's a great way to discover what you enjoy and appreciate about different styles and techniques.
Also, because I realize that I'm still talking in academic language, they're just plain awesome. The stories in this collection are all strikingly unique; some are deep and thought-provoking, and others are dark, and some are totally unexpected. There's even a recipe for chicken Parmesan for two. The artwork is beautiful, for the most part, and the black and white coloring really puts a nice focus on the artist's use of ink and shadow, which is a nice change of pace from superhero comics.
