Rated T
Overall, it definitely feels like Marvel have put some great talent behind this book. It feels like something that can reach outside the audience of people who loved the book, I know I have never read it but personally really enjoyed this and will be keeping up with it. It's got a very Runaways vibe to it, and anyone who enjoys that or series like Young Avengers is sure to enjoy this book. It takes a little bit of work trying to figure out the characters, but once you do it's easy to get involved in the story and makes for a very enjoyable read which I'd definitely recommend.

However, the inconsistent art doesnt wholly damage the story. The final package is something inherently enjoyable and approachable. Not much is accomplished in this first issue but the entire thing reads like silk and has a darkly sinister tone hidden beneath some of the pages. The subtext of the this story promises to take us on a dark journey if only from the final page, but it creates such a jarring tonal difference its hard to say whether or not this book is worth your time with only one issue of story.

Collected, "Max Ride: First Flight" is guaranteed to be a charmer, but this first installment is over just a bit too quickly. There's plenty of substance, mind you, but Bennett and crew leave this issue with not only a cliffhanger but an invitation for the reader to go back and re-read the story. After all, twenty pages can't possibly move along that quickly, right? Read Full Review
This was a little vague, but seems to be building up to something. It's nice to see how protective Max is of her "Flock."
Art decent enough. Story does not work here.
