Concrete.

You know who he is, you're here aren't you? These short stories link together a little better than they did in the first collection of short stories from Dark Horse Presents and other sources.

The stories can be read independent of the main run of comics and of each other, but a few are perhaps better read after you've caught up on the other limited series, especially 'Fragile Creature'. The greater link is due to the ever-present emphasis on ecology and sustainability becoming more prominent and being the driving force behind multiple stories.

Chadwick is an intelligent and sensitive writer and I hope he returns to this character in the future, we need his stories now more than ever.
