In ‘Flight Volume Five,’ Kibuishi’s masters produce treasures
Edited by Kazu Kibuishi, “Flight Volume Five,” continues the tradition of this popular graphic novel series by collecting some of the finest artists and animators working in the industry today.
While the focus is clearly on the visual component, this isn’t just another art book. The stories range from the whimsical to the edgy.
Story-crafters borrow from a variety of literary traditions, including classic children’s fairy tales, high fantasy and speculative fiction.
The inaugural edition of the “Flight” comics anthology was published in July 2004. Envisioned by Kibuishi as a showcase for young and innovative artists and writers, the previous edition, “Flight Volume Four,” has been nominated for a 2008 Harvey Award for Best Anthology.

Kaku’s new book examines ‘Physics of the Impossible’
According to a timeline of the “Star Trek” universe, humanity is only a few short decades away from discovering “warp technology,” which will allow for interstellar space travel – but that’s just fiction, right?
Funny thing about good science fiction: It anticipates technological advances decades, even centuries before scientific progress can make the dreams of visionaries come true.
In Michio Kaku’s new book, “Physics of the Impossible,” the American theoretical physicist delves into the probability that technology which presently only exists in the realms of popular science fiction literature, television programs and films, may some day become reality.
