I went to the Phantom of the Attic in Oakland for Free Comic Book Day. I picked up the Comics Festival book for free (I got it for the one page of Bryan O'Malley goodness). I bought Stray Bullets 37 and Flight Volume Two. I'm about half way through Flight. It seems much better than the first one. The first one had some brilliant ones but also some stinkers. The second one has brilliant ones and the bad ones are still pretty good. Favorites so far: Solomon Fix by Doug TenNapel, Monster Slayers by Khang Le, Dance of the Sugar Plums or Last Month on Earth by Don Hertzfeldt, and, hell, most of them. They seem darker than the first go around. There's a lot of death and smoking. Go buy one. Then buy another one.
