A quarterly anthology of four stories, Ashcan gives the reader a wide variety of stories that are bound to please almost everyone. Since I’m reviewing two comics at once, I will just break this up into four parts and speak to each story separately since they have no correlation with one another.

Newborn has a bit of a minimalist approach to the art, it’s very basic but it helps to keep the reader focused on the story which is, at this point, a little unclear. The first issue contains a scene from a bedroom involving two people talking in bed. The second shows us more of a femme fatale angle and I’m guessing the December issue will tie these together for us.
