Meathaus is a comic arts collective. Some of the best comic art out there. If you like Dan Clowes, for example, check these guys out.

This is why I don't like anthologies. It often seems to be code for "dick around for a few pages, smush in something pretentious".

Can't go wrong with a comic anthology. As always gonna be some great stuff and some not so great stuff. Standout stories by Joseph Belden, Esao Andrews, Nate Powell, and Jim Rugg.

Unfortunately there were only a few comics in this that I liked, but the idea was very cool.
