Great choice! Willow, I've already got a copy of AIR on order for our library's collection, and will go out and do an AIRLift for myself....a great idea!

You've done AIR a favor, and unwittingly become a part of Operation AIRlift. (See front page.) Great minds think alike.

I purchased it, read it in store, and defaced it's copy with "FREE TO GOOD HOME" in sharpie. The clerk agreed to read it over lunch, and make sure it got passed on when he finished with similar instructions. This might be the perfect strategy with Vertigo #1 TPBs, because often, the first issue is all set-up, and the casual reader won't necessarily stick with it after a month, but six issues together are a full story that leave one in anticipation for more. And, thanks to Vertigo's seeming new policy of $9.99 TPBs, it's not infeasible. Now I just have to find another store to get myself a personal copy of Air #1.

I didn't even want them lying around in my place. I placed them in a folder and duct taped it and sent it to my friend who was a horror fan. Not sure what he did with them.... I am pretty desensitized as a result of it, but surprised there's a whole subculture that embraces it. Casey,

B) How sad is it that I know what movie that still is taken from. A) Oh supreme and glorious King, your subject kisses your feet and steals your Red Bull.
