@Elizabeth Weinbloom: Even more so, the imagined remnants of the ones that once were, but are now 'never-was'.
The magnificent Golden Gate International Exposition of 1939-1940 is perhaps the most poignant example [en.wikipedia.org] .
A bucolic, lowrise, sun-dappled internationalist embassy, heralding a Gibsonian Gernsback Continuum utopia of streamamerica Art Deco (fascist-free) futurism, set on the shores of an endless Pacific Ocean.
Where weightless Zeppelins moor to the masts of gleaming Nirosta-capped skyscrapers, noiseless helicopters flit the pellucid skies and cheery crimson biplanes commute the verdant suburbs and concrete canyons of the endless modernist megalopoli to come.
PS I don't know if I subconciously recognised your name en passant [I tend not to notice monikers (just colours and shapes)], but for once I bothered to click an ID, saw the twitter link and realised that you're on my following list (since a witty #1stdraftmoveiline in July, I think).
Big planet. Small world.
PPS Any photos of that ethereal bubble-blowing flash mob? #alexisrockman

Resurrection is completely awesome, though I do kind of miss the old artist...
A book I cannot recommend more is CHEW, over at Image. It's such a great story, with a lot of interesting threads, fun art, and great characters. One of the the most fun I've had reading a comic book in YEARS.
Also, BPRD: 1947, if just for the combination of Fabio Moon's art, and Gabriel Ba, two of the best artists in the business (IMHO). #5comicsyoushouldbereading

Big fan of Chew as well, but, speaking of Gabriel Ba, am perhaps most anxious (hoping?) to see the third arc of the Umbrella Academy. #5comicsyoushouldbereading

I also had a big problem with Air's art. It was very flat, and as you say, 70s Mad. Would've really benefited from a more surreal artist (like Weldele or Jock or something...).
Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes CHEW! I'm sure it'll be a movie or TV show soon enough (really has all the trappings)...not that it's necessarily a good thing. #5comicsyoushouldbereading
