Unfortunately this spin off series didn’t live up to the high expectations of the original.
So each legends book has 8ish short stories by different creators. Knowing this, it’s expected that it will be very up and down (which it is). There are a few standouts like Stan Sakai, but with each great story there are four not so good ones.
Anthologies were never my jam, so perhaps this is a me problem. Personally this is a flip through book. You flip through it to find an art style that intrigues you and read from there. Skip the rest (you’re not missing much)
