Good collection marred by poor paper quality. Collecting the first seven issues of the Gen13 regular series this book has excellent artwork and entertaining stories. The big disappointment is the poor quality paper used. Worse than that used by most comic books, the paper is grey and makes all the colors murky. And whoever decided to print the original covers of the issues at 80% size and rotated so that the corners are cut off should be fired.

The best graphic novel of all time EXCELLENT,EXCELLENT,EXCELLENT, This graphic novel has the best artwork and the best stories and has humor (something rarely seen in most except for Young Justice). It should have had a few fold out wall posters of the girls too. I guess you can't have everything. This is just a little better than Young Justice because it's a little more adult and the girls are breathtaking. Too bad their not based on real women. If Image kept J. Scott Campbell for all of Gen 13 and not just the beginning they would have sold a lot more comics. Too bad he now works on Danger Girl which isn't near as fun to read as Gen 13. Art alone cannot always sell a comic book.
Great book, great price Gen 13. When I think of this title, I think of J. Scott Campbell's gorgeous artwork and Alex Garner's amazing inks. This book is still going strong today, even though the dynamic duo of Campbell and Garner have gone on to work on the comic Danger Girl. This book is a good place to pick up a nice part of the Gen 13 story, and is good reading material on a rainy day. Pick it up!
