I have mixed feelings about this anthology. I love reading about death and death-related topics, and I love graphic novels. There were a handful of great stories and drawings, but there were also just as many slow and boring ones. What made it push over 0.5 stars is that there were different perspectives as to what happens when ones dies, what happens after, and how different people grieve. I like the variety of art styles, though there were some that had similar storylines.

My favorites:
Good Mourning: A Look at Proper Mourning Etiquette by Karoline Gronvik
First Law by M.Cat. White
here among the chrysanthemums by luyi bennett
Many Happy Returns by Rhandi Fisher
