Some of the stories were interesting but mostly they weren’t my style. Found myself reluctant to pick the book up at all so ended up skipping quite a few of the stories to get through it.

On of if not the best comic anthology I've read in a long time.

Picked this up at ECCC when I was out scouting for cool anthologies and this "weird sci-fi" collection turned out to be right up my alley. I was maybe expecting something more indie (meaning less polished), but the quality is consistently high and the stories are frequently great. Contributors include Marguerite Bennett, David Hine, Joshua Fialkov, Box Brown, Phil Hester, Cullen Bunn, Ryan Kelly, Fred Van Lente, Adam Egypt Mortimer "and more!"

This anthology is the result of a Kickstarter that I supported--a worthy investment. It collects numerous short stories that cover a broad spectrum of science fiction, revealing just how diverse the genre is and should be. As with any anthology, there will be hits and misses, but this time, even with the stories that didn't speak to me as much as the others, I was so impressed by the creativity and honesty that went into their telling and illustration. It seems that it is the mandate of the collection that each story end with a cliffhanger or a big reveal that gives the sense of vastness and wonder--a frontier yet to be explored if we dare.
