I thought the cover was intriguing. It made me curious about the stories inside. I wasn't aware that these authors had graphic novels, so I was excited when I found this one.
I enjoyed the setting and storyline in 'Red Wood'. I really liked all the imagery from the forest. The trees were my favorite. I liked what Luke discovers after he takes his shot and what Debbie was attempting to do. I think Frank's character stood out to me. The ending seemed fitting.
The legends in 'Castaways' caught my attention. The idea of them being the first ones to be there after such a long time period would be a neat experience. The inhabitants were my favorites. I laughed when I got to the ending and saw who the winner was.
I enjoyed how expressive the characters from 'The King, in = Yellow' were. The woman in the restaurant and Kathryn were the most unsettling characters for me in different ways. I liked who was chosen to be The Pallid Mask. I wasn't able to identify all of the cast but it was fun trying to find who I could recognize. The contrast of these pages compared to the others really made this story pop really nicely.
The excerpt at the end by Nate Southard was exciting to read and I'm glad it was included.
