First Time I've Read a Flight Volume,
By
This review is from: Flight Volume Seven (Paperback)
Reason for Reading: This book was nominated for a Cybils '10 Graphic Novel, category and we judges didn't receive review copies and I wasn't able to find a copy in time for the judging. I have just now been able to obtain a copy.I don't have an awful lot to say about this book. A graphic novel anthology of short stories by mostly people who as a collective haven't published many books but are in the industry on a freelance basis with much experience in animation work. I had previously heard of (and read two) of the author/illustrators presented here: Kibuishi obviously and Dave Roman. Then I came across a Jellaby story which I didn't know the author's name but have been wanting to read the books and very much enjoyed the short story. Some stories are very short, others quite long. There is no theme, rhyme or reason to the collection, just a presentation of beautiful art. That is where this book excels. The graphic presentation is beautiful. the artwork is stunning and it is pure joy to read through. The stories are hit and miss with me I really enjoyed a couple "Jellaby" by Kean Soo, "Live Bait" by Justin Gerard and Premium Cargo by Kostas Kiriakakis. The majority of the other stories were okay and a handful I just plain didn't get. I can't see myself reading another one of these books in the future, unless I had to.

Once more, Excellent!,
By Tim Lasiuta "Comic Fan 42" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Flight Volume Seven (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.
