I liked the Electro story in this, but the Sandman story was a bit strange. I also definitely liked the art in the Electro issues more. The art in the Sandman issues felt a little too sketchy to me. Like they almost weren't completely finished. There's also a random Black Cat issue thrown in this collected volume that overall felt out of place with the rest of the story that was happening here.

But, it's a good set up for the larger event that's just starting, so I did appreciate it for that.
