The Right Hand of Doom

Fraser Simons

This format truly makes the experience phenomenal. All the stories--and there are many in this binding--are arranged in such a way to augment the stories after it. Looking at the regular trades, I think this is far superior to the ordering. "Pancakes" is the first one, for instance; makes a lot of sense.

More than that, the stories are more interesting overall than the first binding. Though slightly more necessarily uneven artwork-wise, because of the numerous different formats being put in it, the quality of the storytelling is far more compelling. Loved this. And the oversized format, again, just an incredible experience.
