Over the weekend, I read The Empire Strikes Back: Infinities and the entire first volume (first twenty-five issues) of Cerebus. Some quick opinions:
The Empire Strikes Back: Infinities: So far, definitely the weakest of the three (although I haven't yet seen the fourth ROTJ: Infinities book). I wasn't really impressed with this one. It didn't really have the edge of the others, and the story seemed to be ... strained.
Cerebus: I wish I'd picked this up years ago. The first twenty-five issues of Cerebus (from 1977 to 1980, I believe) collected in this one volume has to be one of the best comic book investments I've ever made. Not only was it well-written and illustrated in an entertaining manner, the characters are fascinating and some of the stories are quite humourous. I'll be picking up the next volume as soon as possible.
