sunday fantasy #180: Air, by G. Willow Wilson/M.K. Perker (Vertigo comics)

The basics: A flight stewardess who is afraid of heights, winged serpents, terrorists, a country that no longer exists, Aztecs, romance, flying machines, pioneers, epic cliffhangers.

This ongoing series has been one of the big opinion-dividers of the past few years - not many comics have an opening panel that mentions a Salman Rushdie novel - but it’s scope and ambition gives it the xplanes seal of approval.

(more info here. The first ten issues of Air have been collected into two trade paperbacks)
