[Dan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Editor Dirk Wood cautions readers in his introduction to not read this like a book. To dip in and out, skip around, find things that interest you, and skip over the things that don't. Who is he to tell me and my reading OCD what to do...? I'll read it in order if I want to, dammit.

And, as he predicted, there were a LOT of things here that didn't interest me.

At first glance.

A paragraph or two into each skippable-looking article, story, interview, comic, etc., I was hooked. Yeah, I've never heard of the musician that Dirk Wood interviewed, but damned if his enthusiasm for his subject wasn't infectious. EVERY part of this book/magazine was delightfully readable, and I'm really sad that they were only able to eke out 4 issues over the past four years. In a perfect world, we would be enjoying FULL BLEED every three months, for the rest of our lives.
