One of the rare short story collections in which every story was a winner.
Great variety of tales from excellent authors that expanded my appreciation of the overall setting whilst also being well told tales in their own right.

A nice overview of festive folk lore.
It is not super in depth but the presentation and the execution makes it work.

Really fun and seasonal cosmic time travel story.
Great slice of life stuff that gets you invested in all aspects of the story.

INCREDIBLE.
I've always wondered what a story of this ilk would be like, a chronological look at Spider-Man where he actually ages as the eras pass.
Zdarsky manages to creatively interweave so much from Spidey history whilst putting his own unique spin on things.
These little snippets from another version of this character was absolutely outstanding.
Best Spider-Man comic I've read in years.
