These early stories range from instant classics to more niche and harder-to-recommend reading, but make no mistake: each AWA book is certainly worth investigating. Unfortunately, the real-life pandemic of covid-19 intervened, delaying these plans the various minis wouldn’t return with their second issues until June.
