El dibujo es superlativo pero la historia se le queda muy por detrás, así que tuve que promediar entre ambos aspectos.

Sky Doll: Spaceship Collection features short stories set in the Sky Doll universe by Metteo De Longis, Claudio Acciari, Pierre-Mony Chan, Riff Reb’s, Bengal and Sky Doll creators Alessandro Barbucci and Barbara Canepa.
Sky Doll: Lacrima Christi Collection features short stories set in the Sky Doll universe by Sky Doll creators Alessandro Barbucci and Barbara Canepa, as well as Gradimir Smudia, Enrique Fernàndez, Benjamim, Afif Khaled and Mikael Bourgoin.
Some of the stories were good, some not. Same goes for the art. That's the danger one faces with anthologies like this.
I have to admit I'd forgotten a lot of details since my last read of the series, so guess I should give it a reread at some point.

I have a soft spot for this comic purely for the art. The use of color and linework is amazing. However, there is so much misogyny packed into these short stories I couldn't bring myself to give this book a good rating. The women (well, they're dolls, as the comic likes to remind us, and therefore aren't "women" or "people") in this are constantly groped, assaulted and raped, among many other things. The artwork gives us many upskirt shots, lots of boobs (the anatomy gets baaaaad in a lot of the works) and fetish outfits. One of the dolls in the first story is a "goth loli" model, and they mean "loli" in the worst way, as she is made to look childlike while intended to be a sex slave. I couldn't help but notice the guest artists were all men (unless I missed someone) and it shows in how the dolls are presented to the viewer.
On a writing level, there's also a lot of confusion. The stories are disjointed and it took me a little bit to understand that there is a main character (Noa) present in every story. Basically, this isn't worth the read except for some of the truly gorgeous works of art.

Some very bizarre and somewhat erotic art wrapped with very short stories. A bit rapey and sexist in spots. This book uses a number of artists so the style varies wildly, some of it is quite good. As for what the background was, I had to read Wikipedia for that information.

First volume of short stories about Noa, the protagonist of the Sky Doll series, in which we learn some things about her past, more precisely about her past jobs. The artwork is done by several authors and the stories are written by Barbucci or Canepa. I think it's a quite enjoyable reading and it can be read without the main volumes.
Primer álbum de historias cortas sobre el pasado de Noa, donde veremos algunos de los trabajos que desempeñó antes de conocer a los chicos. Se puede leer independientemente de la serie principal así que sirve como un buen acercamiento a ella. Si queréis leer más sobre este álbum y ver algunas imágenes, podéis visitar la reseña que le dediqué en mi blog: www.ashoggothontheroof.blogspot.com/2015/01/sky-doll-spaceship-collection-tomo-1.html
