VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by G. Willow Wilson Art and cover by M.K. Perker Collecting the story that started it all, from AIR #1-5! Blythe knew there was no time like the present more dangerous to be an airline stewardess, but the skies might be much more dangerous than anyone imagines. She's just learned of the Etesian Front - vigilantes dedicated to take the skies back from terrorism - and they're after Zayn, a man she's just met. Whether he's an average frequent flier or a terrorist, finding out will lead Blythe to discover the weird science of hyperaxis and the mysterious artifact that will change the way we see technology forever. From the comics imprint known for innovation, G. Willow Wilson and M. K. Perker introduce a new way of looking at the magic of flight. Retailers, please see the Previews Order Form for more information. Advance-solicited; on sale March 18 144 pg, FC, $9.99 US MATURE READERS Date Available: 08/20/2008 REVIEW by Brian Fisher  Satire is great… when it’s done right. More often than not satire ends up being misused, and instead of entertaining and informing you about current events it bludgeons you over the head with the point that’s trying to be made. Satire is supposed to be subtle and is meant for the reader to come to their own conclusions about what is trying to be said. That’s what Air lets you do. It gives you a broad, satirical view of airlines’ reaction to a post 9/11 world and lets you make a decision about the ideas presented to you. Another excellent thinking-man’s comic from those great folks over at Vertigo. I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
