Like most anthologies, this was really hit or miss.

Love all these little moments of the team! Some background on each of them and some future moments, it was great.

The outstanding moment was what Andy and Nile did for Booker!!!!!

I'm reading this only because I really enjoyed the movie adaptation featuring these characters, and I can be a completist sometimes. The art is really variable in this collection—some of the artists were great, some of them were, uh, not to my taste. In more than one story I couldn't tell if I was supposed to be looking at Nicky or Booker. With such a short amount of space for each writer to work in, it's not surprising that most of these stories tend not to have much to them. Most of them are at least okay, though, with the exception of one near the end featuring a group of orgiastic murderous nuns which was an unpleasant little burst of misogyny. Way too much Booker, not enough Joe or Noriko/Quynh.
