came quickly enough... book wasn't in the greatest shape, but it wasn't described to be either- so it was a fair deal

This book can be considered a magical addition to the Flight comics series. As you open the book its as if you are taken to a whole new world in which you are lifted up off your feet over the world and to new hights of imagination.

Hats off to the many great stories by the many great artists in this book. There are indeed many talented people still roaming this planet! EXCEPT for the few artists who obviously paid someone or had a strong connection w/ an Image Comics employee to get their pitiful stories into Flight, Vol. 2.

Those that left a sour lingering taste in my mouth are... Don Hertzfeldt's stick figures accompanied by a very weak attempt at a story. Calling Hertzfeldt's work 'amateurish' would be very kind indeed. Next we have Hope Larson's 'Weather Vain'. All I can say is, "PURE GARBAGE!" What gives? Put your obvious illustrative talents to better use. This junk was immediately followed by Becky Cloonan's 'Heads Up'. Same advice that I gave to Ms. Larson applies here. What a waste of seventeen pages and the editor/publisher had the nerve to put these stories back to back. WOW!

Lastly, who wants to try and explain to me what was going on in Matthew Woodson's 'Tendergrass'? BIZARRE to say the least. Oh well, maybe it's just me.

Continued success to those talented artists, story writers, letterers and color artists whose work belonged in this wonderful and reccommended read. Cheers!!

When my copies (I got 2&3) arrived, the first thing I noticed was the sheer size of the volumes. They are much thicker than I expected, but then again it is chock full of images. The short stories in this run the gamut when it comes to styles and tone. I really enjoyed first just scanning through the volume just LOOKing at the imagery. Once I sat down to read the stories, I really couldn't stop. Well, I could have, but I didn't really want to. Each story has a flavor, a texture, and you can't quite help but enjoy them and want more. As for the art created for this volume- by variety and quality, they're inspiring. I'm glad I got at least two volumes at once. I would recommend this book!
Great condition, good packaging and fast delivery!

These books are great! These comics have the greatest comic art I have seen and many of them have very intellectual meanings.
