My friend bought me this for my birthday whilst I was in Seattle. In a word. Wow. It's an amazing compolation of indepedant comics; it was origional put together for fun by an author who just wanted to put a compelation of storys together with some friends, it was never expected to see. The end result is a range of short stories everything from the irripresably cute "Underground" to the touching and sad "Polaris".

Anyone own the first two volumes? Are they as good?

I haven't seen Volume 3 yet, but the first two volumes are very good. It was my first exposure to Copper , the web comic that, well, deserved the Eisner.

Not that I don't like PvP, I buy the issues and read it several times a week. But it's not the best digital comic.

Anyhow, yes, they're strong efforts as well. My only complaint is that the writing often doesn't match the quality of the art. They're still worth getting lost in.

I bought all three volumes of Flight at Comic-Con, but I first read the first one in my local public library, and I first read the second one in a not-so-local public library in Alexandria, Virginia. (It had a really nice comics section.)

Whenever I finish reading a volume of Flight, I always feel miserable, because I know I still have a long, long road to travel before I become that accomplished at making comics (before I reach "eye-popping visionary" level). Until then, it feels like all I'm doing is jumping off the barn roof, flapping my arms as hard as I can... and falling like a sack of bricks.

PS: In the first volume of Flight, most of the stories have to do with flying, for obvious reasons. The trend must have shifted somewhere along the way, though, and in this third volume most of the stories have to do with either little girls, cats, or robots. Why is this?

Gravity.

Gravity.

Is that some sort of metaphorical reference to the creative limitations that all artists suffer from, or is it just some kind of joke?

Metaphorical joke, gravity being a metaphore for a force that effects all humans wether we want it to or not. Cutesy anthologys naturaly gravitate towards stories about little girls, cats and (cute) robots, in the same way japanease anime schoolgirls naturaly gravitate towards having massive boobs.

Personaly, I thought it was more amusing WITHOUT the laboured explanation. It's not MY fault you went and asked.

I haven't seen the third volume yet. I have seen the first one and it has always served as an inspiration for me to draw better comics. The second one, well, let's just say I liked the first one better. I hope the third one is better than the first two.
