Okay, conceptually I am in love with this. In terms of actual execution of that concept... not so much. Yay for a whole huge full color collection of comics by all female creators! Including a section for aspiring creators and tips throughout the book! But. The biggest problem for me was that this tried to hard to pack everything in. There are so many awesome creators here but the extremely short format just leaves most of the works feeling way too abbreviated. Lots of them feel cut-off mid-story or even just make no sense because of the shortness. Even the strip that runs at the bottom for the whole collection feels way too short.
