I missed seeing Tim Fielder at the Mississippi Book Festival this year so I picked this one and issue two up at my local comics shop, Offbeat in Jackson. I'd been wanting to try his self-published series because the premise sounded so very, very good. The illustrations weren't fabulous, but they were strong and consistent; I really liked the muted greens and browns Fielder used to depict Mississippi in 1920. Not a ton happening in this first issue, but it's a decent introductory effort. The alternate history timeline looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. I love the Bessie Coleman comparisons that have been drawn and I got a little thrill when Mattie shot off into space.
