The Silver Coin, Vol. 1 by Kelly Thompson, Michael Walsh, Chip Zdarsky, Ed Brisson, Jeff Lemire
3.0

As with all Anthology series, you get some good you get some bad.

The first two stories are the best in the volume. The first dealing with a Rocker who will do ANYTHING for fame. It's pretty brutal ending to a tale of greed. Second is about a girl who watches to many slasher films and when she goes to sleep away camp things go very bad for her. Those are the two best. The following two are the weakest, dealing with a bunch of people who steal and murder and you find out what really happens when they rely on a special coin like the rest of the people to get things. Jeff Lemire comes in with a tale of the future that's more confusing than good. Luckily last story is better and shows the origin of the Silver Coin.

Overall fun book for spooky tales, but not amazing. A 3 out of 5.
