[Chris Browning · Rating 4 out of 5]

The perfect anthology in as much as there’s a wide variety of styles and tones going on, and obviously some work better than others, but crucially they all make me want to create again as soon as I’m physically able to do so. And what more can you ask?

Fun

This was a pretty tedious read, not very interesting and not the best graphics. Sara Varon's Robot Dreams didn't make it into this anthology and I'm glad because her work is SO much better than anything I found here.

Some great stories and interesting art (all involving robots and/or space), though I felt it wasn't as strong as the next anthology in the series, Project Superior.

As with any collection, there were comics I did like and those I did not--some weren't even comics at all, just illustrations of robots/futuristic creatures.

A few pieces stand out (Hornschemeir's We Were Not Made For This World is excellent). Many are completely forgettable, and at least one is more like an ad for another book.
