Cloonan's By Chance or Providence presents three separate dark fantasy tales, each separate from the others but clearly feeling as though they can exist within a single world. The writing and art work well together for each of the stories--drawing from myth and fantasy in ways that are intriguing, unsettling, and resonant even as they embrace an element of the unknown and the uncertain.

The art was really nice and the way that the stories were told really give them a 'legendary myth' vibe. But I felt like the stories never really went anywhere, and I don't feel like I really took anything away from this book. Or I might just not be smart enough to appreciate it -- I just wanted more.
Also... why did we have to see the breasts of every female in these stories? It was not necessary at all.

Five-star artwork, one-star stories.
