I'm off to get my hands on a copy but initial thoughts are... "Badass, this is amazing" followed by "You fucking twats, I can't believe you fucked up so bad"

Breakdown
How the fuck can you get massive cultural references so wrong? Islam and Hinduism have existed side by side but are totally different.

The name Vimanarama is actually two words, Vimana as in ancient Hindu flying machine and Rama as in reincarnation of Hindu god Vishnu. Nothing to do with Islam but everything to do with Ali the son of a Pakistani corner shop keeper??? Come again!

The first page also has a lotus on it, how far did Mr. Writer immerse himself in Islamic writings to extract that?

I think he looks more like Ranvir, The Sonik Gurus bassist. All be it with short hair. The slightly bemused look on his face is definately Ash though!
