This year's Dark Horse Maverick anthology is an amazing collection ofstories 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 talehad to work with the theme of happy endings - literally or otherwise. Regardless of the approach, every creator involved poured heart and soul intothe work, and the results are astounding: from Gilbert Austin's Depression-erahucksters “Barley and Diggs,” to Brian Michael Bendis'sautobiographical convention tale “Only In...” to Mike Mignola'sfractured fable of “The Magician and the Snake,” the stories are asvaried as the creators themselves! Best of all, the book itself is even biggerand badder than before. Coming in at a hefty 96 pages and packaged in thecompact 6”x9” format, Happy Endings continues a solid annualtradition!
