CELEBRATING OUR 25th "ANNIVERSARY" ISSUE WITH A SPECIAL BONUS STORY. IT'S THE PERFECT JUMPING-ON POINT TO THE BOOK CBR CALLED "IMAGE'S MOST UNPREDICTABLE HORROR SERIES." Good afternoon, folks. This is your captain speaking. I'd like to welcome everyone aboard ICM Flight 25. We're currently cruising at an altitude of 33,000 feet, at an airspeed of about 400 miles per hour. The time is 1:25 p.m. The weather looks pretty good, and with the tailwind on our side, we're expecting to violently nosedive into the ground approximately 15 minutes ahead of schedule.

Leer cómics me trae mucha nostalgia. Me hace pensar en el amor verdadero; en silencios entibiados por la luz del velador.
Este cómic - un sencillo dentro de una saga que me trajo como regalo una amiga desde otro país - es bastante incómodo de leer: convoca esas preguntas sobre la muerte y la futilidad de la vida que por sanidad mental uno suprime. Lo disfruté, sí, es sobre un avión que cae en picada tras perder un ala.

Am I the only one who didn’t understand this one?

Edit: Still don’t get it other than wonder if it’s about the delusions people live in while their whole world burns around them.

[Aritra Dasgupta · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nihilism at its finest, yet as the best, strangely hopeful in the end.

[Colin Post · Rating 4 out of 5]

The ICM crew has a way of taking a concept for an issue that’s starts off startling and unsettling — a bunch of people on a crashing plane are weirdly at ease with their fate — and deepen it and make it stranger as it goes.

[Rick Ray · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fair bit more nihilistic than some of the other entries in the series, but I quite liked the main feature. The story is a bit cryptic but the little twist ending was nice. The backup feature was even more indecipherable but I dug the bizarre vibes to it for the most part.

[Wyatt Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the general Nihilistic themes throughout the story and the twist ending.

I never finished writing my novel…
