Air: Letters From Lost Countries























Another read that Dash completed in Nov is "Air: Letters From Lost Countries".
Put an acrophobic air-stewardess who has a philosophy degree in a world afloat with conspiracy theories -- and this is the same world where forgotten countries can lose both their economic and metaphysical currency in the real world. So letters were mailed from a country that does not exist on the map, and reality could be altered if the right people piloted the plane to land in the lost country.
Dash likes this comic series with its well-sketched and dimensioned characters. The underlying discussion of issues such as apathy to the sufferings of others, whether might is always right, and stereotyping etc were well-drawn out in the characters' reflections and the situations that they find themselves in.
Dash votes this a good way to spend two hours in a cafe : )
