An anthology of stories told in the AV universe by a wide variety of authors. The quality of the stories and art varies from story to story, and none of them seem to move the main plot forward, but I have to admit this was a nice refresher from Snyder’s monologue-heavy dialogue from the previous volumes. There’s some PHENOMENAL stories here (shout-outs to Gail Simone’s empathetic origin for Hattie Hargrove) but there’s also some duds that don’t stand out much. Not essential reading, but a decent investment if you’ve got the cash to spare.
