5.0 out of 5 stars Once more, Excellent!, August 4, 2010

This review is from: Flight Volume Seven (Flight Graphic Novels) (Paperback)

It is amazing that Kazu Kisbuishi is able to conjure so many talented individuals in 7 volumes. The growth of this book, from my first look at volume 1 is remarkable, and highly reminiscent of the 1980's Marvel Epic magazine.

This edition includes:

JP Ahonen, Bannister, Jason Caffoe, Drew Dernavich, Michel Gagne, Justin Gerard, Cory Godbey, Grimaldi, Paul Harmon, Kazu Kibuishi, Kostas Kiriakakis, Stuart Livingston, Leland Myrick, Dave Roman, Katie Shanahan, Steven Shanahan, Kean Soo and Dermont Walshe

In no particular order my favorite stories this time include Kenneth Shuri and the Big Sweep. Who would have imagined a janitor/ninja? Fantastic look at a situation that just might be real, in the minds of our our cleaning staffs. Premium Cargo (Kostas Kiriakakis) is amazing! This is deep, emotional story telling at its' best. Bravo! Fairy Market is a cynical look at toy marketing, thinly disguised. Sentinels is just cool, real cool. TT Challenge is a marvelous, nostalgaic look at bike racing that resonates a carefree spirit in me. I love this short tale.

Is this the best volume yet? What other tales will we see from these closet 'comic book artists/writers'? I can hardly wait. This is the book that will define graphic fiction for large market buyers and readers.

This review is from: Flight Volume Seven (Flight Graphic Novels) (Paperback)

Maybe it's because we just got this one but I really think this might the best flight so far. I am not ashamed to say the Snowball story made me cry like a little baby.

Sooooo. Good.
