    Outside the box 1

    I come to this issue by way of a recommendation of a friend (who just so happened to be working on the book).  Although it is outside of my usual purview, I figured I would have a look.  The format of the book is kind of like the old anthology based stories from the the silver age of comics, where there is some continuity sometimes from one story to the next, but often the stories more so stand by themselves.  In this choice of format obviously sometimes some stories will be better than others, ...

    My head is exploding! 3

    Anthologies have always been a dicey commodity in the comic book industry. They rarely sell well and seldom garner critical acclaim. The reason for this is that each individual contribution to an anthology has very little “meat” to it. A short story of one to eight pages, if it is any good, just leaves the reader frustrated, asking, “O.K., and then what?”A story of eight pages in regular text can easily become a classic, because of the infinite amount of visualizing that the reader can engage in...
