Air, Volume 1: Letters from Lost Countries by M.K. Perker, G. Willow Wilson
4.0
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.
