(CA) Paul Pope
Comics' top talents, including some making their Vertigo debut, take on the classic DC Comics anthology title for four issues of strange, scary, sexy and sensational sports stories. Featuring stories and art by Brian Azzarello, CM Punk, Paul Pope, Gilbert Hernandez, Lauren Beukes, Ben McCool, Ivan Brandon, Monica Gallagher, Lee Loughridge, Nick Dragotta, Christopher Mitten, Darick Robertson, Mark Finn, John Lucas, Gabe Soria, Ronald Wimberly, Michael DiMotta, Tim Fish, Rael Lyra and many more!

BONUS REVIEW by "Doc" Schaefer


Another wonderful 70's DC book returns to us just long enough to secure copyright on the title. The trouble is that the writers and artists aren't given enough space to develop the story. Many of the stories are disjointed and confusing. Many of them end on a depressing point without us even caring about the characters that face them. It is my belief that if DC continues to publish these anthology one-shots, they should work in some of the writers and artists that work on the original title. And for god's sake let them have a few more pages to develop the story.

I give it 5 out of 10 Grahams
