I notice that Bill Sienkiewicz's "Stray Toasters" has been reprinted. I missed this first time round. Do you think I would enjoy it now?

I used to be a really sad Stray Toasters fanboy (to the point where I have the ultra-rare signed edition with the lovely tactile paper, or rather was given it as a present), but I'm not sure the story is as great as I thought it was back when it came out. The art is absolutely amazing though.

It's really, really classic.

I don't know that anyone would enjoy it now who didn't encounter it when it was FRESH NEVER SEEN BEFORE stylee though. At all.

"Naff" story, indeed. I say, stick with Elektra: Assassin!

Jesus, if a comic's story is worse than "Elektra: Assasin" then it is truly bad indeed.

Did the whole thing ever come out? I think I'm conflating it with Big Numbers. Now that they're reprinting it, is it as a book or as issues? I think I only had the first one or two.

It got reprinted as a book two or three years ago.
