This is the issue I've been waiting for since Air began. Wilson doesn't draw a lot of attention to her faith or politics in this book, but I feel like Mohammad the Sad and his friends are probably the characters she feels closest to (except Blythe of course) since this book began.
I love the idea of the Metalhead Jihad - a group of post-punks who are fighting Muslim extremists in an effort to help Pakistan live up to its namesake, Pureland. Wilson is once again playing with symbols and their meanings, but in an action-adventure movie way with this issue.
Mohammad the Sad is determined to liberate Islam from the dogmatic extremists that are usually portrayed in popular media, but of course, he doesn't look any different from them when the Etesians arrive - just another Muslim among Muslims, he says.
This title keeps improving, and it was already pretty damn good.
