A contract with God

I very much enjoyed "a contract with God". Both the art and the stories were very well done. There was a lot of appealing art work in the comics, and Will Eisner did a great job showing the characters emotions throughout the different stories. I was sometimes disappointed with how abrupt some of the stories ended though. It had be hooked during the beginning and middle, but the endings sometimes felt like they came out of no where, like there wasn't a lot of thought put into how things would wrap up.

Scrooge McDuck

I've read a few short comic strips with Scrooge before. I'm ok with the story, but I've never been overly fond of it. Scrooge has always been annoying to me, and though he does have his redeeming qualities, he's just far too greedy for me to ever like him. I do like the triplets and donald of coarse, but in the end it just isn't a comic that has ever appealed to me.

Haunt of Fear

Story wise, I enjoyed reading the EC comics. They were fun campfire horror stories that weren't totally frightening, but unpleasant enough to keep things interesting. I kind of liked the stories with the moral undertones a bit more than the flat out monster stories. At least then there was some level of satisfaction when someone was killed off (usually the wrongdoer thankfully). I wasn't terribly impressed with the art, but that kind of realistic style never really appealed to me.
