Emily's Review: Flight, Volume One [Graphic Novel]

This is the first installment of the popular "Flight" series of comic collections, featuring work by young artists. The quality of work is dazzling -- digital and traditional pieces are displayed side-by-side and while they look different, they are just as beautiful as each other. The writing is admirable as well; my personal favorites are a "confessional" comic by Erika Moen (who illustrates her own diaries online), a delicate coming-of-age tale in watercolor by Jen Wang, and a wordless (!!!) comic written by Dylan Meconis and drawn by Bill Mudron.
Rating: 5Q, 4P
