Discovering Cairo

Last month or so I finally started reading Fables (I've actually finished the first 12 volumes or so...yeah, I'm sure I'll eventually find time to post some collected files here ;-) from Vertigo publishing as I had resolved to (again) start reading DC comics (after reading so much Marvel's Dark Reign for most of the year) and I got so engrossed with it that I further resolved to (also) read more Vertigo (well, it's a DC imprint, and it produced one of my all-time faves Y: The Last Man after all!). After some quick search, I finally settled on G. Willow Wilson's Cairo:
I dunno why, but it seemed a good read coz it was first of all, it was very much a graphic novel and it was readable in one sitting or so (i thought --which I did..). Secondly, it kinda gave an exotic vibe just from the looking at the cover art...i dunno, it kinda reminded me of another favorite graphic novel of mine by one of my favorite comic book writers - Brian K Vaughan, specifically his graphic novel Pride of Baghdad (i guess coz both novels' titles were specific in its location). Finally, story-wise Cairo does have that "you-don't-really-know-who-or-what's-just-behind-the-corner" feel to it)  something which I'm a bit familiar with in G. Willow Wilson's writing when I read her Air series a few years back ( i think i featured it here awhile back too - which probably means I liked that one too). You might say there's an Air in CAiro! ;-) Get it? AIR..cAIRo?
