A mixed bag. Some comics felt very dated, some were just odd. Most of them weren't my cup of tea.

Decided that after reading most of Alison Bechdel I should diversify a bit and read some gay comics.

Overall I enjoyed it as a quick cute read. Not a lot of depth, but even if you are dealing with the same sort of story they are so personal that each person's story has its own little twist. Some of the artwork was easier on the eyes than others, but since the overall vibe was more underground/alternative they all fit together pretty well.

Collection of comics from various artists. Mixed bag, some quite entertaining, a few rather banal. I'm glad I read it.
