This year's Dark Horse Maverick anthology is an amazing collection of stories by the hottest up-and-coming talent along with the industry's giants. The artists' mission was deceptively simple: in one way or another, each tale had to work with the theme of happy endings--literally or otherwise. Regardless of the approach, every creator involved poured heart and soul into the work, and the results are astounding: from Gilbert Austin's Depression-era hucksters "Barley and Diggs, " to Brian Michael Bendis's autobiographical convention tale "Only In..." to Mike Mignola's fractured fable of "The Magician and the Snake, " the stories are as varied as the creators themselves!

This review is from: Dark Horse Maverick: Happy Endings (Paperback)
This collection is great fun - Frank Miller even shows us his, um, funny side! (Be ready to cry.) I like the challenge posed to the artists to create any story as long as it "ended happy" since it gave the contributors a chance to be a little sillier than you might expect in their more typical works. It's not very long but I think that this is a strength since brevity is the soul of wit, no? Good gift for comics people since they probably haven't seen this, or for someone who is sort of an oddball in your life. Not for newlyweds - these aren't necessarily _those_ kinds of happy endings...
