Flight Volume Six
, . . Villard, $25 (283pp) ISBN 978-0-345-50590-3
The latest installment of this comics anthology collects the work of 17 up-and-coming comic creators in one glossy volume, cramming in a dizzying variety of works. The book opens with Michael Gagne's beautiful and deeply alien “The Saga of Rex—Soulmates,” in which two small, foxlike creatures, deeply in love, follow each other through a series of increasingly strange and symbolic transformations; next is J.P. Ahonen's “The Excitingly Mundane Life of Kenneth Shuri,” the charmingly cartoony tale of a suburban ninja's search for a new job.
