I really, really wanted to like this, but I cannot in good faith give it more than one star for a very simple reason: I've no idea what I just read.

The way the pages are laid out was very difficult to follow, and the dialogue doesn't make it any better - there are accents used that are barely decipherable (for example: ‘l'tul suguh britchiz wood'n do dis t'ole'), which isn't a very pleasant experience. The story? Couldn't tell you what it's about. The parts where the characters are introduced are the most logical, easy to follow parts. Anything else was a confusing ‘what-am-I-looking-at' ordeal. I really did enjoy ‘The Right Bait', which I think is the best part.

I may simply not be accustomed to American comics, but I really wanted to give this a try because I love the accompanying Dimension 20 campaign set in the same universe. All I can say is - you really don't need this source material to enjoy that show, and probably watching that first will help you understand this collection a bit better, rather than the other way around.
