4.0

My favorites from this selection were Used Record, Fashion Model, Hanging Blimp, and Painter. I really didn't like Shiver and Greased but I don't think that informs the quality of the art and storyline. I love the creepy art style and the author's plots are unique and interesting. I did find meaning and deeper themes in the stories but they are also enjoyable on a surface-level as well.
