review:
'SHOCK Anthology' edited by Joe Pruett is a series of 21 stories, most with a SF, horror or fantasy slant. As with most anthologies, some stories work better than others.

The first story is written by Neil Gaiman, and feels like one of his poems illustrated by Michael Zulli. From there, we stories about deadly butterflies, alien invasions, revenge, witches, a message from beyond the grave, and others.

The art is all consistently good. The stories vary, and some feel like they aren't complete. I kept thinking some might be continued further on, but that wasn't the case. The first few stories had some surprise endings, and I thought they all might go that direction, but that wasn't the case either.

Overall, the art is quite good, and the stories were fine. Like any anthology, you take the good with the bad. The stories are all pretty short.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Aftershock Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
