2.0

Well, that wasn't very good. The art throughout was alright, but most of the stories were just... Not even 'meh', but rather full-fledged 'just stop'. The Black section is the best of the volume, in my opinion, and although there were a couple of decent stories in each of the other colours, most of them either weren't very good at all, or got ruined on the last page by some sort of surprise twist or something equally annoying, and quite a few of the better offerings were depowered by exactly such happenstance. I don't have the time or desire to go through and give individual reviews of the stories, but this is definitely a collection that won't be picked up off the shelf for a re-read anytime soon, or probably ever.
