Since this is a visual mix-tape, the quality ranges from item to item in this book. However each section is of high quality, and sort of like reading a book of short stories in comic book form. The worst bits are really advertisements for the artists' other projects (why pay money to see an advertisement?) the best---well there's many---surprisingly the best are generally the ones that either have a sense of humor, or are more realistic (instead of superhero fighting some thing)---The Biki...more

Well worth the price and perfect for gifts or roadtrip "brain food."

i was really disappointed there wasn't a brandon graham story in here despite all the prepub press hype. toby cypress, dan hipp, rey's pinapl story, deadeye, supertron & aqua leung(!!!) were the highlights for me. the rest was alright.

pretty good anthology. it's like the FLIGHT anthologies, only POPGUN is more action-oriented i guess...still artsy and stuff at times tho...and it's a great bang fer yer buck at like 500 pages for $30. looking forward to volume 2.

By themselves the short comic pieces that make up this "graphic mixtape" are mostly slight, and some of them just plain bad. However, as a mass, they work really well, just an avalanche of disposable pop fun.

The size of this book helps make up for any story I didn't care for. There is a wide variety of short stories to be found here.
