If that happens, fine, the first one is automatically assumed to be #1, no big deal. How&#8217;s that for an utterly insignificant mini-rant? Anyway, this one isn&#8217;t bad, but it&#8217;s not great either. There are comics from Amy Allen and Samuel Kienbaum (I&#8217;m mentioning them because they&#8217;re already on the page and I like their work), and a really great one about friends drifting apart from Thien Pham. Other than that it was a mish-mash, ranging from good to not-so-good. Parts of it were worth a look, if nothing else to see Amy Allen do a comic that wasn&#8217;t about Zecord, and it looks good, with a full color section in the middle. Here&#8217;s a list of the rest of the contributors: Michael Allen, Tim Goodyear, Ian Ameling, Katherine Wien, Carlos Baltodano, Lou, T.J. Winslow &amp; Nikolita, John Orloff, and Mark Thompson.
