5.0 out of 5 stars Better than your average comic book., March 28, 2002

By	"wolverine1017" (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews

It's hard to find a good comic anthology these days, let alone one which strays far from science fiction and fantasy and instead focuses on the mundane, the people, the common person's reaction to tragedy. Every kind of person was affected by September 11, and this book encompasses them all -- the law-abiding Arab citizen, the American travelling abroad, the desensitized, the firemen, those on the planes and those lucky enough to be plucked from the Trade Center rubble.

The stories are varied, the images in colour, black and white and grayscale, and each artist's style is distinct. You'll find cartoons, realistic drawings, and some in between, all of which do more to reflect the true feeling of American, if not world unity, and September 11 better than any Dateline special could.

I, for one, can't wait to read Volume Two.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing collectable, great read, July 16, 2002

By	Scott Summerton (Thunder Bay, ON Canada) - See all my reviews

Got this after a desire to collect the 9-11 comics as my ending run in comic collecting, and I must say I am impressed with not only the size of it, but the consitent and diverse work inside. Loads of unfamiliar work that perhaps wouldn't be seen on such a public level with such quality, and at 200 pages for the price its at, its damn good.

The stories themselves? Some make you think. Some make you wonder. All make you remember.

4.0 out of 5 stars To "A reader", June 4, 2005

By	LordShen (Cimmeria) - See all my reviews

I am sorry for your loss and will make no positioning to state I in any way know how you feel. However, if you had taken the tiny extra bit of time to look at this graphic novel you would have noticed that not a single artist or writer made money on this. It was all a voluntary work basis and all the profits, every last dime, went to charities to help those that lost loved ones in this human atrocity.


Peace be with you.
