I have been a fan of the new Airboy series from issue #1. Greg and James create this series so perfectly, while in direct coordination with one another. The series brings back the old story of Airboy, while the creative team puts a modern and semi-autobiographical spin on it. This is definitely worth a read (for anyone over 18). I don’t care what genre you’re into or what you’ve heard about Airboy; I recommend it to each and every one of you, with the highest of regards. Read Full Review

Airboy #4 is a proper ending to one of the best comic stories I've read this year. In the span of four issues, James Robinson and Greg Hinkle found a creative way to reinvent a classic character and tell a story that revolves around an extremely intimate look into Robinson's life. Robinson's storytelling was engaging and funny, while Hinkle's artwork never missed a step through the series. Read Full Review

Airboy is not meant to inspire pity for James Robinson; in fact, the opposite is true. This series is a gem in Robinson's portfolio, but it's hardly the only one. Airboy is therapy as a comic book without the presumption, self-indulgent narrative that makes sense in context, and Chekhovian storytelling through a superhero lens. James Robinson and Greg Hinkle have crafted one of the finest comic books of 2015, and the only shame about Airboy #4 is that it's the final issue. Read Full Review

On a grander scale, the context provided by Airboy gives all of Robinson's catalog a deeper tinge of meaning (go back and read some Starman and tell me that Jack Knight isn't a sexier version of Robinson) and insight into what he's been trying to figure out over the past few decades. However, there's still a sense that the majority of his past work has led up to this. It's not his ultimatecomic nor his greatest work, but there's something finalabout it, as if it were the culmination of a long stretch of both professional and personal labor. Upon review (of this review), I've realised that it reflects James Robinson as an author and a character much more than it analyzes the comic he wrote. But after all's said and done, isn't that how he'd want it? Read Full Review

Airboy number 4 is a great conclusion to the mini-series. The end may be a rehash of a tried and tested conclusion, but James has engineered it in a manner that has enough sparks of originality that you dont feel let down. There isnt as much of the balls-to-the-wall crazy humour to this issue, but there are several really clever little jokes throughout that I found very, very funny. I also found it quite a poignant climax that, for all the raucous drug taking, sex, and debauchery from the start of the run to the penultimate act, the conclusion itself is quite innocent and raw. In the end Airboy does manage to save James from himself, and there is something quite beautiful about the payoff that I was not expecting. Robinson, throughout Airboy, has been highly critical of the past work he has done but, James, as a comic book reader and fan I think you can be proud of this. I loved it. Read Full Review

Trying to define Airboy is difficult. There's nothing quite like it coming out of the major publishers. It's one of those books that blurs the line between fiction in non-fiction as it stars its own writer and artist and focuses on James and James Robinsons' inner demons and fear of fading stardom. It's beyond refreshing to have a book where big name comics creative use their medium to look in on themselves and I'd like to think that draws the medium closer to the artistic and academic respect it's long deserved. While Airboy isn't for everyone, especially given the controversial second issue, it's one of the most unique books of the year. Read Full Review

The fictional versions of Robinson/Hinkle may be hard to like, but by the end of the series, you feel okay rooting for them. Read Full Review

Airboy is a comic about James Robinson hitting rock bottom, both professionally and personally, just as much as it is about the character of Airboy himself. If you're not reading the series because of the contents of issue #2, I'm not going to try and dissuade you from your decision. What I will say, however, is don't judgeRobinson's future work on an acknowledged mistake. Read Full Review

An excellent conclusion to one of the best mini-series of 2015. Read Full Review

Robinson and Hinkle end their Airboy series on a high note as both humor and heart are prominent throughout. Hinkle delivers on the actions sequences as he depicts the war efforts against the Nazis. Robinson ties up his story of self-loathing and perseverance in a fitting way to the flow of the story. Now, let's get off the couch and get some writing done. Or stay on the couch. Just make sure you're writing. Read Full Review

Ultimately, this series ends with ambiguity, but I think that's fair - Airboy seems more raw and autobiographical than I think anyone would expect, and that's what makes it such a compelling read. Read Full Review

Still, not much happens in this, the end of the Airboy experiment, other than a small bout of action, a lackluster sense of "spiritual growth" and some great art, making it less the entertainingly caustic experience it started out as being, and more an obligatory bout of apologetic hand-wringing. Read Full Review

This series started as a madcap romp and turned into one big apology. Bummer. I hope Robinson feels some catharsis after writing this and turns in some awesome scripts for his upcoming books with Marvel. And I'd love to see more Saviors!

Started off like a fun idea, but turned into a James Robinson memoir. You'll dig it if you're interested in his private life, I guess, but I can't ever see myself reading his Airboy again.
