I'm really not a fan of this book. It's filled with short stories that are almost all random and unconnected, changing the timelines and events up as they go. Not to mention that the art is so varied and not good, in many cases. This book is just a mix of fan fiction, it seems to me, with a few transitions thrown in by the original creators here and there to try and make it fit.

Interesting to read some back story into one of my favorite comic book series. Some of the artwork and stories were lacking a little bit, which I would like to believe was because Wendy and Richard Pini took more of a backseat in their development. Certainly the art by Wendy in this book was by far the best.
