While I’m on the subject of media-inspired unworthiness, let’s discuss Flight. This is an comic anthology put together a year or so ago by a bunch of crazy young artists, loosely centered around the titular theme.

It is so good, I cannot believe it. It reminds me of the first time I read Strangers in Paradise, insofar as it highlights the fact that Americans can still do great comic books. Not all of the artists are American, no—and clearly the influences are all over the map. But it’s an Image Comics release, and it’s wonderful.

Flight Vol. 2 is just out, and it is—no joke—even better than the first one. If you enjoy interesting, innovative sequential art (and I am looking meaningfully at you, Da-chan, and you, Clarissa) these are books worth stealing from a friend. A friend who is not me.

Happy Free Comic Day.
