This is great. It's easy to read, and the descriptions of games give a good overview but aren't too long. I'm taking notes and making lists of possible future purchases.

Interesting short read. Interesting premise and social commentary.

Yeah, okay, that ending was much more what I expected from Loeb 👏
Good turnaround. Much better!
Better.
Not great.
I have to be honest, for Jeph Loeb I'm pretty underwhelmed... Three volumes in and it's basically a lot of unconnected stories that are just a lot of punching (even for the Hulk).
For example, in this volume we just had three issues of a giant PvP battle, with a different Hulk, (not the one we've been following) with teammates from other multiverses, who were all resurrected and had their memories wiped afterwards, to then learn absolutely nothing at all...
And this is also after the "filler" second volume... What's going on?

Lots of random characters showing up for literally a panel or two and then disappearing... I don't really see the point except for as filler...

All murder mysteries follow a simple set of rules. Grant McAllister, a mystery writer and …
This is a great murder mystery novel. The blurb basically says it all: a retired mathematician defined all the essential parameters of murder mystery novels, described the possible permutations, and then released a collection of seven short stories that demonstrated all the permutations. The story goes through the stories, and describes the permutations along the way.
The book is easy to read, as it's basically a collection of short stories, and it's a great read.
What I don't like about the blurb is that it implies that there's a greater mystery to solve. I don't like this implication, because it's not possible for the reader to solve this greater mystery, because they aren't given all the facts until the revelation at the conclusion. The conclusion is still excellent; it's a lovely part of the story and a good ending, but it's not a mystery you can solve.
