  The writing and stories for this issue were all top of theline and made for a great read. I liked the small collection of stories that ithad as it made it easy to digest and not so dependent upon stretching a story for issue sake.The smaller chunks of storytelling really seemed to focus the creators so thatthey would put their best work into each story. Even though it's already onissue 4 this is a great place to jump on the series as several new tales arebeginning that you won't want to miss out on. Read Full Review

  When Dark Horse Presents became a monthly series, I didn't think about how the new schedule would affect the material. Would Dark Horse burn through stories faster? Were some of the creators still working on a slower schedule, meaning we wouldn't see their stories every month? So far, it's resulted in the loss of two series from previous months. Paul Chadwick's Concrete is absent. A real loss since new Concrete stories was the reason I started buying the series. Also gone is Neal Adams' Blood, about a vigilante and an ancient war between alien symbiotes. Not a great loss, but still noticeable. But other stories from previous issues are continued here. We also see the beginnings of three new series. The overall package is one of the best deals on the comic rack. Read Full Review
