The Tom Hart section would be worth a five-star rating on its own. As an ad-hoc anthology, the quality of the work in this book is pretty uneven, with some good sections, some stellar ones, some mediocre and some awful. Dave Sim finishes the book off with a one-note character study making full use of his trademarked Hackneyed Dave Sim Misogyny to narrate the inner life of a Horrible No Good Woman. Ugh.

I've had this book for a while. The designation of 24Hour Comics Day has inspired me to try it this year- October 2nd-3rd, 2010. I can't draw to save a lick, so my attempt will be a spectacular failure, but I'll learn.
This book has the first 2 24 hour comics in it- McCloud's and Steve Bissette's and a few others. It's got Neil Gaiman's and Adrian Tomine. It's got a wordless story.

This makes me want to write the comic. You can really see the insanity of the time lapse, the deadline. You can see these writers brains being wracked for ideas, their stuff just comes pouring out. It's mostly cockamamie, but there's a lot of truth to it, a lot of gripping mania. I love the idea. Scott Mccloud is a genius. My favorites were David Lasky's and Steve Bissette's.
Interesting collection
As with the other books in the "24 Hour Comics" series, this is kind of a mixed bag. Still, some amazing work done in such a short amount of time.
