AFlight of Angels by Rebecca Guay, 128 pages
“The diverse
mythology of angels is explored in this lushly painted graphic novel from
high-profile fantasy authors including Holly Black (The Spiderwick Chronicles)
and Bill Willingham (FABLES). Deep in the woods outside of a magical kingdom, a
strange group of faeries and forest creatures discover a nearly dead angel,
bleeding and unconscious with a sword by his side. They call a tribunal to
decide his fate, each telling stories that delve into different interpretations
of these winged, celestial beings: tales of dangerous angels, all-powerful
angels, guardian angels, and death angels, that range from the mystical to the
mysterious to the macabre. This original graphic novel spotlights the painted
work of award-winning artist Rebecca Guay, whose other works include the
Vertigo titles Veils and Destiny: A Chronicle of Deaths Foretold, as well as
World of Warcraft, Magic: The Gathering, and Dungeons & Dragons.” As graphic
novels go this wasn’t bad but everything was just too surreal and dark for me
to really enjoy it. I probably wouldn’t
recommend it to anyone but for the right audience this would probably be a
really good choice.
