Flight Vol. 1

Flight is an anthology published by Image comics. The idea is to have young creators make short stories about flight. There are six volumes out there and this is the first one. I enjoyed reading it. The nice thing about anthologies is that if you don't like one story, the story is short enough to not matter and if you like one story, you can look for more things from that author online. This anthology has several good stories, I liked both stories written by Kibuishi, the editor of the comic. Both of them were funny. Near the end of the book there's another story I liked a lot, it is called "The Bowl". It is a nice story told without words, the art is very strong and the author, Clio Chang, was able to express complex things through her art. Other stories I liked include "Hugo Earhart" by Jake Parker, "Tug McTaggart, Circus Detective" by Phil Cravenand "The Maiden and the River Spirit" by Derek Kirk Kim.

A good comic, worth checking out.
