Flight, Volume Four Comic – July 10, 2007

by Kazu Kibuishi (Editor)

40 ratings

A full-color graphic anthology of short stories by some of the hottest creators in the field, FLIGHT, Volume Four is the newest addition to a great success story in graphic novel publishing.

Since 2004, when the first Volume of Flight burst on the scene, the publication of subsequent volumes has become a highly anticipated annual event. Artists are constantly contacting Kibuishi (the editor of the Flight volumes and himself a contributor), asking to be included in the next volume of Flight. So it's no wonder Flight has ascended so rapidly in the graphic novel universe, becoming a fan favorite and developing a rabid following. Each contributor's story in the anthology represents a labor of love, and that fact shines through in the overall quality of the series.

“With truly stellar art from masters of the field, this fantasy anthology is a must for comics connoisseurs and a delight to readers who like pretty stories.” Publishers Weekly on Flight, Volume Three (Starred Review.)

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Even as the Flight anthologies grow larger—this volume has about 80 pages on its immediate predecessor—there is still so much good material it never feels like too much. Many of the stories are silent and depend on the cartoonist's ability to tell fluid and accessible narratives by pacing their stories with extreme delicacy. Fortunately most of the cartoonists meet this demand, notably the opening Castaway by Michel Gagne as well as N by Phil Craven. The stories that do feature dialogue have an inviting, warm feeling to them, an appreciated effect considering how many stories here there are to read. To Grandma's by Clio Chang has the most fun with the power of childhood dreams and fantasies. The Forever Box by Sarah Mensinga takes childhood as a major theme, as do many of the selections; its mix of imagination and humanity is a great example of what the Flight books work so well. As the reader nears the end, after so many varied stories, a comic like Twenty-Four Hours by Andrea Offerman bursts out with wild images never seen before. Flight Volume 4 is good to the last drop.

From Booklist

The fourth opulent Flight anthology showcases 30 stories by mostly young, animation-influenced artists. If it doesn't soar quite as high as its predecessors, many of whose standout contributors have moved on, it still features plenty of top-notch talent. Highlights include another installment of animator Michael Gagné's saga of the plucky young fox Rex, Amy Kim Ganter's manga-derived tale of an epic clash between a fish seller and a clam seller, Sarah Mensinga's story about a girl who escapes grief via a magic box that can stop time, Johane Matte's delightful depiction of a comically jealous Egyptian cat, Clio Chang's media-age updating of Red Riding Hood, and Andrea Offermann's surreal account of what appears to be the end of the world by means of elephant attack and aerial invasion. In most of these stories, plots are minimal, and many are wordless. The collection's substantial appeal lies primarily in the impressive variety of often stunning artwork, presented in full color that ranges from the thoughtfully subtle to the vividly lush.

Creative and beautifully done graphic novel anthology.

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

I always love the Flight graphic novels. They are such a unique and beautiful collection of short stories. This volume was very well done and I enjoyed the variety of stories throughout.

These are difficult to review because there is such a wide variety of stories, illustration styles, and themes. Suffice to say there really weren’t any stories in here I disliked. Of course the continuing story of Rex (by Michel Gagne) and the story by Kazu Kibuishi are some of my favorites and have remained my favorites throughout each Flight novel.

I also really enjoyed both the illustration style and story for “The Forever Box” by Sarah Mensinga. I found the silly little story of “Igloo Head and Tree Head” by Scott C to be strangely charming and entertaining as well. There were many others that I enjoyed too.

Overall this was another wonderful anthology of graphic short stories. All the stories were well done and consistently good. The Flight series continues to provide beautiful and high quality graphic short stories that are creative, intriguing and entertaining. I will definitely continue reading the series.

Beautiful compilation of stories and art styles

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2010

I own the first three volumes of Flight and I love them all. The stories are always entertaining, some even make you think. The art styles are gorgeous and it's fun to enjoy the variety. I like how the first story in the book actually continues throughout the first four volumes, although I don't think it's necessary to read them all to know what is going on. The volumes are pretty much stand alone pieces, but I plan on owning them all!

Another Great Anthology

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2007

Verified Purchase

I think this might be my favorite Flight book so far, overall. As in the previous volumes, the stories and art styles vary dramatically. Each story is very short, but these comics are worth reading slowly or more than once to enjoy the excellent artwork and all the imagination involved.

These aren't traditional comic book-style comics, and they aren't newspaper-style comics (though I think that some belong in the same general category as older newspaper comics such as those by Winsor McCay). It just seems clearly evident that the artists in these books love what they are doing, and I hope that the series continues to be successful so that more will get a chance to do so in this ideal format.

We are slowly but surely collecting the whole flight series, volume by volume. They are just wonderful, offering short but amazingly creative stories from a wide selection of superb artists. You'll want to read them again and again.

La collection `Flight' dirigée par l'américain Kazu Kibuishi, donne à découvrir, dans un épais trade paperback, des dessinateurs et animateurs pas toujours débutants, de tous pays, et le plus souvent doués.
Dans cette 4è livraison, le degré de qualité est particulièrement élevé, avec par exemple Kibuishi lui-même (excellent récit), Vera Brosgol (désormais mieux connue pour ' Anya's Ghost ') et Fabio Moon (maintenant mieux connu pour ' Daytripper. Writers, Gabriel B and Fabio Moon '). Mais aussi Thomas Herpich, JP Ahonen, Sarah Mensinga, Neil Babra (4è apparition !), Scott C., etc. etc.
Recommandé.
**** et 1/2
