Evolution

Evolution is 40 black and white story pages for $2.95. Evolution is an anthology of mostly super-hero stories. “The God That Failed” is about super-powers and addiction. “Makings of a Hero” is a standard super-hero story. “Modern Thieves” has a look similar to Strangers in Paradise but is about a family of thieves in the future and in space. “Shift” is a science-fiction story about rich people turning themselves into cyborgs in the future. Finally, “Tales from the Con Crypt” is a one-panel gag about cons.

It provides a good amount of story for each buck, hitting more often than it misses. The art is good throughout in a variety of styles, so you’re bound to find one you like.

Support anthologies; they’re just what the medium needs. Terminus Media’s website provides a trailer about Shift and more information about the many creators featured in Evolution.
