It adheres closely to Kavalier & Clay canon. Nothing breathtaking that wasn't done in Kavalier and Clay proper, but a joy to see the story laid out as a real comic. ( ) I read the Adventures of Kavalier and Clay a million years ago. It never occurred to me that the Escapist comics would be published. There is no cohesive storyline in the book. It is just a bunch of different versions of the The Escapist, all of them interesting and with their own merits. There is also a great manga version of the Escapist and two Luna Moth stories that were incredible. The explanations given by various authors regarding the series help put everything in perspective. So I just read this again and for the most part my opinion stayed the same. The only change I would say is that not every story got explanations and sometimes I was curious as to which age each story came from or if I had the correct publisher and was matching the age correctly.
