I'm amending my previous review. In hindsight, many of the one shots in this collection are only mediocre. There are a few standouts, but they are scattered through out the collection, making it difficult to recommend one volume over the other. If you are a big OEL or one shot story fan, then this series is worth picking up (if you can get it used, on the cheap.) Otherwise, you're not missing much.
It is notable, however, how this program launched the careers of several OEL artists, among them M. Alice LeGrow of Bizenghast fame. Her one shot, Nikolai, is among the standouts.
