Summary: Awesome!
Comment: After High Society, Church & State, and Jaka Story, this book is an achievement in the graphic novels medium.
I wonder how Dave Sim was able to kept the same quality of the previous books for so long time!
Cerebus have already been Prime Minister, Pope, owner of quite all the gold in the world, and has "ascended" to the Moon to find one of the most powerful beings in his universe, "the Judge". After all these top creative events, most writers would prefer to use the "hint" of the Judge and finish the saga. However, Dave Sim still had a lot of rabbits in his hat.
After the pause in Melmoth, Cerebus wakes from the shock of thinking that Jaka is dead and begins to kill every cirinist that appear in his path. Being, of course, underestimated even for Cirin (since he is only 3 feet tall).
This book is so intense that you just can't stop reading it.
More important, here begins a series of revelations about the origins of Cerebus, who he is, and his place in the events of things. I think everybody will be
delighted when Suenteus Po finally reveals himself as the third aadvark (since everybody should have already noticed that Cirin was an aadvark as well).
Finally this books prepares the so waited meeting among: Cerebus, Astoria, Cirin and Suenteus Po.
I strongly recommend this book for anyone. Moreover, I recommend everybody to buy all the Cerebus series.

Summary: The Worst Cerebus to Date
Comment: This is the last Cerebus tale I have read and my least favourite to date. Its not bad, but its not of the same quality that I have come to expect from Dim Sim, who is one of the most under-rated creaters in comics. I liked the scenes with the roach, but the bits with Cerebus in it seem to go on forever. Unlike, say Jaka's Story, which is also quite drawn out, its just not that interesting. This instalment basically follows Cerebus's meeting with some kind of Ardvark ancestor who has acheived god-like status. It is also basically setting the scene for a confrontation between Cerebus and Cirin, who seems to be becoming the main antagonist in the series. I am not suggesting that you skip this book, however. It is, of course, an integral part of the overall storyline. Just don't expect too much from it.

Summary: The real Cerebus is back
Comment: Shocked from his reverie by a fatal chance meeting at the end of the previous book, Cerebus returns to action -- and Dave Sim regains his storytelling footing -- in Flight. After the introspection and digression of Melmoth, Dave Sim demonstrates again that he does blood-splattering action as well as he does cerebral, otherworldy dream-delving. The book is cinematic in execution, switching between five and six scenes from page to page and sometimes from panel to panel, immersing you in the feeling that all these things are happening simultaneously for a reason, and that all these seemingly unconnected threads are actually Going Someplace. Which they do, though not until the next book, Women. If you can avoid it, don't buy this book until you also get the next volume, because if you read this one alone you're going to chew your fingernails down to the wrists waiting for the next book to arrive.
