The Free Comic Book Day special also includes an interview with each writer, which serves as another way to hook you into the upcoming stories (as if the two preludes weren't enough). If this wasn't free, I'd tell you to go buy it. Read Full Review
Both stories feature art from two of the most visually exciting artists around; Tomas Giorello and Juan Jose Ryp on the first and second story, respectively.

The effect of this is that despite there being two distinct art styles within the book, they're both wonderful to look at and each artist adds a lot to the story despite the reduced page count.
