[Timo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Much more smoothly these stories work in these graphic novel form than in weekly format of 2000AD. And I like the way Dante is presented way other way then other 2000AD mainstrays: He is not grim.
But to me the stories lack the last punch to be perfect. Almost there but not quite.
