H&S frequently looks a topic with a perspective I hadn't considered before. It won me over with the first story, which deals with the optimist's/pessimist's view of a glass of water beautifully.

Some really funny observational humor, with charming characters and art. I'm really happy to see another volume is coming out. And I remember seeing a short story featuring <i>Apocalipstix</i> in some anthology years ago (OK, it was <a href="http://www.stevetastic.com/raid.html" rel="nofollow"><i>Rumble Royale</i></a>) and wasn't that impressed. Nice art, sure, but the story was pretty throwaway and forgettable. I’ll second that recommendation for Halo & Sprocket. Some really funny observational humor, with charming characters and art.
