3.0
I'm not sure if this is a 2.5 or a 3 star read.
I think the collection does its job and gives the reader a clear picture of Killer Croc and his origins. Overall, I would say the pacing for most of the issues dragged. The later storylines were more fast-paced and more interesting but I was so close to dnf-ing this book before I even reached the good ones. I think if one is a big fan of Killer Croc, give this book a go... otherwise, it's not worth it. I was always intrigued by Croc and I did find his background to be far more tragic and twisted than I expected. However, I don't think his introductory storyline from the 80s were particularly strong or does the character justice.
