[Emy Bitner · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well, seeing as I was one of the contributors, I think it only fair I give this a reasonable review. This was a very fun project and my first footholds into the published comic market. It was an invaluable experience and I look forward to participating again in the future.

In this first volume of the Gothology, you'll find an anthology of many varied artists and illustrators with their own interpretations of the goth scene. The work ranges from single illustrations to full comics (though none are more than 20 pages) with a plethora of different moods, themes, and styles.

Check it out if you're looking for some new artists to dig your bleak black bleeding soul into!
