I think raising money for trauma support for the Grenfell Tower survivors is an incredible thing to put a charity anthology together for. Some of the comics featured here really capture that spirit, as well as the spirit of community and recovery. That said, as with many anthologies, it can be a bit of a mixed bags, with some of the comics not standing out at all or standing out as poor examples.
I probably wouldn't go out of my way to recommend this, but I definitely wouldn't recommend against it either, and I do think the cause is great.

Beautiful artwork with uplifting stories that aim to help people with their PTSD, depression and anxiety.

5 stars.
Poignant panels, some light, some crushing and often political but carrying the themes of loss and survival through a collection of short stories.

This is a great anthology for a very worthy cause. It's such a wide variety of artists and writers that there's probably going to be something in here you like and anything you don't is so sorry it won't bother you. This variety also means it serves as a fantastic introduction to modern comics if it's something you haven't yet tried out.
