review 1: As with all anthologies there will be some stories markedly superior to others, and comic book anthologies are no exception, but while some of the vignettes in Flight are weaker than others in the book they are all far superior to the majority of comic books being published as si...

review 1: This one was a bit underwhelming. After the end of the third volume, where then arrive triumphant at the lost city no one thought existed, I was expecting a bit more…I don’t know, excitement? But instead the cast is separated and a predictable conspiracy begins. The characters be...

review 1: I'm getting increasingly bothered by the sampling of elements from other fantasy tales. Maybe younger readers won't notice or mind as much, but it's a bit more than getting inspired by! There are the obvious borrowings from Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter. This la...

review 1: The Flight volumes are anthologies of indie cartoonists’ creative efforts (see my reviews of volumes one through seven). The tales told in these works span the entire spectrum of contemporary comic stylings from manga-influenced works to rough sketches to symbolic surreality to m...

review 1: Every time these books start to show improvement, the next volume manages to dash all those rising hopes. How is it possible that this one is the worst yet? The pacing in this volume was absolutely terrible - characters jumped from dramatic moment to dramatic moment with very lit...

review 1: I thought this was a nice continuation of the amulet series. In the beginning of the book, I felt like the novel 's story line was a little stereotypical but it was compatible with the story line. There has to be a little struggle so the character's can succeed (or this scenario ...
