Demo was deliberatly such a pure single-issue experience, that during the act of creating it I never considered how the stories would sit next to each other, read back to back, without a month's time separating them.<br /><br />But now that I have the experience of seeing Demo collected all in one book, this is informing how I write Local. Interesting. To me, anyway. <br /><br />---<br /><br /><a href="http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=22349#6">AICN chimed in on Local yesterday, as well as other recent Oni releases</a>:<br /><br />and yielded this very flattering quote:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">"So big ups to Wood and Kelly. They’re working in some kind of magical synchronicity, they’ve got a concept the biz has never seen, and they’re at the forefront of the movement to revitalize the standalone issue in comics (see also, JONAH HEX; FELL). Pretty cool stuff. In fact, at three issues in I’m confident enough in the series to start thinking of it as an early frontrunner for best miniseries of ’06."</span><br /><br />---Brian Woodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02408727206659329621noreply@blogger.com
