I haven't been living in Toronto for too long, so I was really interested in seeing the city through the eyes of established Torontonians. For the most part I think these comics would have benefitted from more space to develop their stories/characters -- or maybe I'm just not much of a short-comics reader? -- but even when a comic didn't really grab my attention it was fun to recognize the setting. All of the comics were charming in their own way, and some were fantastic -- Cenotaph was definitely my favourite, and I also really enjoyed Bandit Bargain Basement Bonanaza and Jane Street; all three were really enhanced by their "Toronto-iness." I'll probably check out another volume of these!
