Air Issue 5 by G Willow Wilson and MK Perker


Rating: WARTY!

I found this series in the close-out section of my local comic book store and it looked interesting (especially the imitation of the Andrew Wyeth painting Christina's World on the cover of issue 5), so I picked up issues 2 through 5. Issue one wasn't available. I figured that despite missing one, I ought to be able to get a good feel for the series from this selection and be able to decide whether it was worth keeping up with. I didn't get a good feel from it, so I quit after this issue, which is as far as my commitment went. Note that I'm using the word 'issue' here to distinguish from the later collections, which are referred to as volumes.

This was my favorite issue, but purely for the cover. The story itself was veering ever further from comprehensibility with each issue. I cannot recommend any of these issues or the series based on what I read.
