Summary: I don't care what anyone says, I enjoyed this work
Comment: Being a proud lover of all three "Matrix" films, I naturally loved the "Matrix Comics" as well. In fact anything remotely cyberpunk, such as the books "Neuromancer", "Cryptonomicon", "Darkeye: Cyber Hunter", "Count Zero", etc., is now in my possession. I would advise anyone remotely interested in these types of comics or books to get them and tune into cyberspace like only these bodies of work can do!

Summary: More of a curiousity...
Comment: I found most of the stories in this book to be kind of average. The Neil Gaiman story was pretty good. As for the illustrations that accompanied it, I thought the first illustrations were the best.
Ted McKeever's story is very good because it treats the Matrix like the real world with a character that has great depth for a short piece of fiction. And the art was very original for this story, too.
I also liked "Hunters and Collectors", but I'm a sucker for any loose analogies or retellings of Melville's classic story.
The art, for the most part of this book is great. It's the writing that doesn't perform as well as I expected. Most of the stories don't take any chances or take you to different ground in the Matrix world, with the exception of McKeever & Gaiman's stories.
I'd recommend the book as a curiosity piece to anyone's library.

Summary: uncreative matrix stories
Comment: I picked this up after seeing revolutions, thinking that it might glean more info about Matrix 2 & 3. It doesn't. The stories are pre-reloaded plot twist, and thus dwell on aspects of the first film without really enlarging them. Some of the artwork is good; so not so good (particularly one story "There are no Flowers"; the scene where the guy starts to fight matrix style is laughable it's so bad, and a devolution of the artistry of the movies). The first story by the wachowski bros. and geof darrow is a re-tread of the one of the animatrix episodes (history of matrix pt.1). I liked the story "Get It?" because it was pretty funny. But basically the book doesn't acknowledge any thing beyond Matrix 1 (except there is one story with Link in it). That was disappointing; and most of the stories aren't that interesting.
