A review by alenka
Shattered: The Asian American Comics Anthology by Jerry Ma, Keith Chow, Parry Shen, Jeff Yang

3.0

Lots of good concepts but many of the stories were too convoluted to really work as short vignettes. Maybe this is a me problem but sci fi and fantasy stories don't work when they're super short but need some world building/fake science creating. Also the story that followed through the collection didn't work for me mostly because if the problems previously stated but also because it was hard to keep track of characters when we meet them briefly and then abruptly jumped to several entirely different stories. This really works as an introduction to a slew of talented creators; you can read through and then check out the other works of folks you liked. Anthologies are tough!
