Title: .
Review: In a sense, it was nice to see some adrenaline pumped into Cerebus after the low-key "Jaka's Story" and "Melmoth," -- the action is entertaining, the story is interesting, and the humor is pretty rich. Well -- at least at first. But Flight (and the rest of Mothers & Daughters) quickly begins to suffer from the scattershot feel and pretentious, self-important meanderings of the earlier Church & State II, which I consider the worst book of the first 6. Sim has no focus here, and jumps around, shifting from wacky comedy to heavy-handed drama to boring historical ramblings indiscriminately. In Flight, I no longer felt immersed in a particular, cogent world of Sim's creation -- I felt like I was just watching him sort of ... make stuff up ... ramble off on bizarre historical details that I felt no connection to as a reader ... and so forth. Flight has its moments, but it really marks the point at which my interest in Cerebus as a whole began to radically taper.
Is the review positive or negative?
