airvol1doneCollecting the story that started it all, from AIR #1-5! Blythe knew there was no time like the present more dangerous to be an airline stewardess, but the skies might be much more dangerous than anyone imagines. She’s just learned of the Etesian Front - vigilantes dedicated to take the skies back from terrorism - and they’re after Zayn, a man she’s just met. Whether he’s an average frequent flier or a terrorist, finding out will lead Blythe to discover the weird science of hyperaxis and the mysterious artifact that will change the way we see technology forever.
From the comics imprint known for innovation, G. Willow Wilson and M. K. Perker introduce a new way of looking at the magic of flight.

I, Zombie

Written by CHRIS ROBERSON

Art and cover by MICHAEL ALLRED


Gwen Dylan is a gravedigger in an eco-friendly cemetery…and a zombie detective. Once a month, she has to eat a human brain - both to keep from going all “Night of the Living Dead,” and to keep her own memories intact. As a result, Gwen’s mind is crowded with the dead person’s thoughts. And lately, she feels compelled to fulfill their final requests. Torn between a mysterious mummy and a dashing young monster-hunter, Gwen is set for adventures beyond imagination! A were-terrier, a swinging ’60s ghost and a pack of paintball blasting vampires complete the cast of I, ZOMBIE.
Written by World Fantasy Award finalist Chris Roberson (CINDERELLA: FROM FABLETOWN WITH LOVE) with art by Eisner Award-winning superstar artist Michael Allred (X-Statix, Madman), I, ZOMBIE is a monster of a tale with razor-sharp prose and powerful pop artistry.

Bret’s pick… “This is a story about a zombie detective named Gwen Dylan who has to eat a human brain once a month to keep from going “all night of the living dead”, as a result her mind becomes crowded with the memories of those consumed.  When those memories become voices Gwen has to act on them.  Sound good?  There’s more: were-terriers, mummies, a swinging 60’s ghost, and paintball shooting vampires.  Did I mention that this is written by Chris Roberson (Cinderella: From Fable town with Love) and illustrated by Michael Allred (Madman, X-Statix)?  This is a new Vertigo series and the first issue is $1.00.  This is a no brainer, pick it up.”
