2.5 many of the stories were nonlinear. The art was often very strange and hard to folllow. Despite this, I kind of liked it at times. Just a real odd ball group of stories.

Not one of my favourite issues but I really liked the pieces from M Dean & C J Aguilera, Veronika Muchitsch, and Julian Glander.
Oliver Grainger –
Most stories were quite bad. Disappointed by Tim Lanes. The last one was good though.

The latter half of the comics were great, especially the final one. Always a few surprises and weird things.
Michael Kitchen –
My introduction to this anthology comic. Quite a variety of graphic stories. Will continue to check out.

The weakest of Fantagraphics’ new anthology series so far, especially after the incredible work in the prior two volumes.

My mind just wasn’t ready for the non-linear storytelling of the majority of the contributors to this anthology. I get that Fantagraphics wants to push the envelope with the art and storytelling styles to be “cutting edge” but some of this stuff just missed the mark with me. I’ve long championed literary graphic novels and in my personal collection I have Raw, Weirdo, Zero Zero, Mome etc but NOW just wasn’t for me. High praise to Tim Lane though. I love his stuff.
