Jax Epoch And The Quicken Forbidden Volume 1: Borrowed Magic (Jax Epoch and the Quicken Forbidden) 2 reviews Dave Roman, John Green
AiT/PlanetLar, 2003
Great art & Great story!
+ finally, strong female characters in comics!
Comics are gaining recognition and respect, but for people new to reading them it takes a nudge to pick a book outside of the big name publishers. This is your nudge.

Flight, Volume Four 7 reviews
Villard, 2007
Another Great Anthology
+ Worthwhile Collection + Flight can't be beat!
I think this might be my favorite Flight book so far, overall. As in the previous volumes, the stories and art styles vary dramatically. Each story is very short, but these comics are worth reading slowly or more than once to enjoy the excellent artwork and all the imagination involved.
These ...
