Reviews

[Davide Pappalardo · Rating 3 out of 5]

This final omnibus collects a bunch of stories and miniseries, but be warned this is not a complete collection: Demon's Gold and Hell Come a Walkin' have been omitted due to controversial contents. Personaly I hate censorship and I think this is really a stupid move, but it is what it is. The quality varies from one story to anothe, I think the low point is the Xenogenesis miniseries which is a stupid attempt at pseudo-superheroes in the Predator universe. Spoiler: it doesn't work, at all.
