I don't actually know that I've got a lot to say about this comic. It was really good. The premise of the series is to bring together European and North American creators, with a little bit of South American thrown in for good measure. It widely succeeds in its mission and tells some entertaining and beautiful stories.

But none of them really stood out to me that much. They were technically very good, but didn't quite have that emotional impact that I like to see from a short story. Ah well. They can't all be life-changers, I suppose.

More to follow.
