When this issue arrived I flipped straight to the Copper Wight's second part, and I was not disappointed--just a bit stressed about all the child endangerment! I'm a sucker for Grumpy Unwilling Dad types, so I loved Cutter, and the world is one I'd be happy to revisit again sometime. Going back through the rest of the stories, the Cripple's Field stuck with me the most. Really nails the fairytale tone, including the startling creepy bit. Angel 2.0 made my skin crawl, great job. Reach a Hand to the Kloud managed to stick a happy ending in a bleak world without compromising either. Shrive was cozy. Cold Truth was nice and pulpy, and it had good action, as did Through Lethe, Darkly and Men of Renown. I don't remember House of the Future that well, or Screams in the Night, but I didn't come away disappointed from this issue.
