I bought this because it met my criteria of being modern, having a gross cover, and containing more than 1 story per issue. However, the stories aren't great. The one that inspired the cover art is the best and even it is too abrupt, having no real build up and still managing to end with an anti-climax. Maybe 4 stories per book is too much. It would have been better had he dedicated more space to the two best stories and fleshed them out to something one could get lost in and really enjoy.

Contrary to a lot of the reviews here, I think this is fantastic. Absolutely classic EC style horror with Corben's iconic visual flair. All the stories presented here are short and sweet, all with great crescendos of horror visuals. I even found the out of place serialized Greek epic to be intriguing, if only in that I don't know where it's going.
