Prelim Review: While this isn't a perfect book, this is a book to be damned proud of. This isn't just an anthology of short comics and pin-ups with a glib theme of 'Women Empowerment' or a collection of stories that prove women are as cool as men (if not cooler). This is a book filled with stories about characters who face problems every girl goes through and yeah sometimes superpowers or magic helps to make things better, but it just as easily comes down to whether that young girl or woman is brave enough to embrace the ability to make a change.

This book weighs a thousand pounds. I don't recommend it as a book to stuff in your tote bag when you hit the beach. It includes volumes I've already rated, the last three installments in the Angel series. I wasn't very impressed with the storyline or scripts for these, and I rated them individually as 2 stars. The one-shots at the end, plus the artwork throughout, bumped the rating for this collection up to 3 stars. Those last several stories were worth the read.

The last one of these Angel comics that I really enjoyed was The Last Angel in Hell. I stuck with the to the end, hoping to be dazzled again, but that never really happened once Brian Lynch stopped writing the series.… (mere)
