I honestly didn't much care for this anthology, a collection of 14 short stories set in different countries and featuring work from creative teams from each of those countries. I picked it up thinking that, given the character, it might be a decent candidate for a Good Comics for Kids review, but, well, as I proceeded, I realized that it wasn't actually that good a comic. In fact, one story seemed so poor—the Serbia-set "Foreign Skies' Sun", by Uroš Dimitrijević and Stevan Subic—that I literally had no idea what was happening in it during a pivotal moment (the first four panels of page seven) and reading it over and over a few times was no help. The dialogue on the next page is enough to explain what happened in the art after the fact, but I am quite shocked the passage made it past an editor and saw print. I quit reading for a few days at that point, as I'm at a point in my writing-about-comics "career"/habit that I don't really want to spend my time either reading or writing about…
