This is still quite interesting. Definitely glad I reread it before continuing with the series.

This is one of those weird books that I couldn't stop reading, but I don't know why. I didn't like it all that much, but for whatever reason, the premise was so intriguing that I just wanted to finish it. I doubt that I will continue on with the series, though.

I thought this was a pretty entertaining adventure comic. I thought the heroine was pretty likeable and kind of kick ass. I would have liked it more if she didn't look like a fragile Barbie doll.

I'm shocked that this is so lowly rated. This has turned out to be one of my best impulse buys in ages; my comics shop owner started talking about women in comics, writing and illustrating, and of course that brought GWW. Almost bought Cairo over this, but this was cheaper.
What an inventive story! A flight attendant who's scared of heights and can dream her way to steer the plane! A terrorist vigilante group trying to steal an Aztec technology! An irresistible romance! It's got it all!

The first issue was pretty great; so much promise. With each successive issue it got increasingly preposterous and not in a good way. After about 6 issues I just had no desire left to keep going.

A decent volume, but neither the conspiracy nor the characters are compelling enough to excite me about the next volume.

AIR is a different creature. I'm having a hard time putting my finger on it, but it's sort of LOST, if Neil Gaiman had written it. Kind of. Then again, it really isn't anything like that. Let me try that again; AIR is like LOST, if all the characters had been Flight Attendants, an airline was the Island, the Smoke Monster a feathered serpent and Dharma were terrorists trying to get their hands on one of the planes from that specific airline, while The Others were desperately trying to stop them. Oh, and in AIR you actually get some very clear answers, where LOST only presented more mysteries and set-ups (and I am saying this as someone who utterly and completely loves LOST).
So, yeah. AIR is sort of an odd one. But it is very, very good, and I really, really like where it's heading. Here's hoping that the subsequent volumes make me love it, with an ending that makes it all worth it. And, from the looks of it, that's what it'll do. It seems as if G. Willow Wilson has a clear vision and knows very well where we're heading, while M.K. Perker is the perfect man to help her get there.
