Rebellion
Pulled from the pages of 2000AD this collection of horror shorts is, in the spirit of anthologies everywhere, a bit of a mixed bag.
With stories and art by the likes of Mark Millar, Alan McKenzie, Simon Spurrier, Al Ewing, Greg Staples, Shaky Kane, Dom Reardon and Henry Flint, it definitely has it's moments but I imagine the demands of producing a weekly magazine are pretty intense and occasionally the quality control slips a bit which may excuse some of the stories here which are pretty poor. Mixed in amongst them though are some, maybe not gems, but definitely some shiny pebbles.
It's not a patch on my potentialy rose-tinted memories of, the Future Shocks or Time Twisters of yore but it's nice to think that the days of the EC Comics shocker aren't completely gone and there's still an occasional home for them in the Galaxy's greatest comic.
