Reading books like this I wish there were various artist graphic novel themed compilations with a similar level of diversity and sustained quality. Until that time, all I can do is return to these pages, and wait for the artists - none of which I've ever heard of before - perhaps to produce more mature material. This volume has the simplest of premise - take seven creators, tell them to write a story around a box and make it fantastical, and sit back and enjoy.

More variety can be had in a compilation such as [[Mouse Guard: Legends of The Guard by David Petersen]], it is true, but that is a spin-off from an established series. All the same, it is well worth dipping into.
