Reviews

[Quentin Wallace · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought this was a decent collection of one shot Deadworld stories. As is the case with any anthology, some stories are better than others but in this case at least there were more good than bad.

[John Ekleberry · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not particularly well written or drawn... and this is coming from an old-school Deadworld fan. The plots are pretty much all re-hashing of things we've seen before. Plus there was a printing error that killed the climax of the last story (the next to last page is missing, with a duplicate of an earlier page in its place).

There are a few glimmers, but I would recommend any other Deadworld collection before this one.
