This is the '10 year anniversary' collection. Collects the next set of comics not previously released, and includes text - a little nonfiction section in which the author mentions how Jane's World came about and a little mini-autobiography about herself. Quite fun and informative and stuff.
The 'new stuff' involves a version of Jane sucked into a 'Last Starfighter' type situation (or, more accurately, recreates that movie with Jane in the starring role). And like in that film - a 'I'm not a robot but a simul...somthing' is put in place of Jane on Earth while Jane is up flying around in space. 'Fake Jane' is super competent, doesn't whine, is good in bed, doesn't eat as much junk food, and is a good reporter -naturally every one is suspicious of this Jane because this Jane isn't 'acting right'.
Both the science fiction 'Jane's World' take on 'Last Starfighter' and the author's autobiographical section were fun things to read. And basically take up the entirety of the book. Sooo I guess I have nothing else to comment on since I already commented on both of those thingies.

I was gifted this book and I conveniently missed the "10" on the side, so this was my introduction to Jane's World, which made for an ... interesting period of acclimation. :) Jane's World is about the titular Jane and the people around her.
A large part of this volume was made up of a parody of The Last Starfighter, which doubly didn't work for me because I never .. actually .. really watched the whole movie? I got enough from cultural awareness, but I think people without those two handicaps will probably enjoy the book a lot more!
That being said, the art was nice and expressive, the characters likable and funny (even when doing kinda shitty things at times) and the pacing and timing were really good. I may have to go back and start from the beginning of this one someday.
