When a he loves a she-creature who loves dolphins, Lab bred spiders that grow large the more they eat, what could go wrong? and capped off with a tale of existential dread, theres always a much bigger bully.

3.25 rounded down.

NATURE is the strongest story here though SILK has the most original art. CHUM is kind of standard fare, a little too rock-brained for me.

Read in a single issue with the Fowler cover.

Kinda underwhelmed with this issue although “back to nature” was the highlight. I guess comic books are just shorter now? These stories don’t seem to get enough pages to fully tell the tale.
