This is a highly enjoyable short anthology issue from local indie publisher Runciman Press. I would definitely recommend checking it out, and I plan to pick up the issues that have been released since this one was.

Timeless Wavelengths and Tales of the Bish brought forward the best art of the issue. Timeless Wavelengths and I <3 Bad Girls brought forward the best writing. Overall, my favourite of the four shorts was Timeless Wavelengths. Tales of the Bish seemed too tied to a particular story line for me to get much out of four pages of writing, but it definitely piqued my interest. Return to Starship 0 seemed really promising, but the last page had too much going on; it took me a good minute to figure out what was happening here. At least two of the shorts could have used further editing in the words, as I definitely noticed some minor typing/spelling/grammatical errors. Not an outright bad short in the bunch, despite my few complaints.

There was a lot of really enjoyable things to see in this. I don't believe they have any way to purchase online, but I would definitely recommend checking out at least the first issue of the anthology if you have the means to get it (I know it is sold at Heroes in downtown London, ON).
