Reception

The first Cinebook volume was reviewed by who complimented the structure and writing ("These stories get straight to the point and keep you there"), said that "[t]he art is gorgeous," before concluding that "[t]he book might be nearly $14, but the art and the storytelling density make for a better value than what that number looks like on the page."[2]
