    Dark Horse Presents issues are always consistently some of the coolest and eclectic comics ever published. This issue is especially a favorite of mine because is feature an obscure and underused character known as Trekker (which is technically her title as a sci-fi futuristic bounty hunter). The art and writing for Trekker, by creator Ron Randall is epic and some of the best science fiction around with that Blade Runner neo-noir feel. Bob the Alien is the second story and is one of the funniest pieces I've ever read, and that's coming from someone who rarely laughs at a comic book. Bob had me literally in stitches as I read. So much good material, why not 5 stars? Frankly it was the last story "Delia & Celia" which killed the momentum for me. Gary Davis is a great artist and his work here is exquisite, sadly, his writing was not as good, and the story while definitely will be enjoyed by some was a bit too dry for my taste and I found myself bored in what could have been an otherwise interesting story of gladiators and dinosaurs. Overall, great series, great issue. Pick up a DHP backissue today!

The little details like 'quit smoking ...
