CHANNEL ZERO story from Liberty Comics #2
"The article is pretty much what’s described in the headline there, an accounting of what some of Marvel’s major players stand to make as the acquisition deal is consummated. I don’t want to sound all 3 AM in the dormitory hallway about it, but I do think it’s worth noting just where the money goes when a deal takes place, and that we might keep that in mind the next time someone rages about the arrogance of a creator wanting some $5K they’re owed, or a family expresses sadness that the patriarch of their family negotiated himself out of a credit 50 years ago or any number of similar, depressing circumstances. The system works, sure, but for whom?"

Interview with Danijel Zezelj
What was like to work with Brian Wood?
DZ: Yes, Wood is also more specific when it’s about locations. For instance, DMZ series have this very specific situation – setting up everything in New York and so. I like a lot DMZ, because it’s located in New York and it’s written by somebody who really likes that city. Wood just moved the story in different situation, but the situation that is actually possible. The other project was about the Vikings – Northlanders, which are completely different. Whereas those stories are really good, they are really interesting to work on.
That is an ollie done with a gusto I’ve not seen from a little skater kid since the 80’s.

"Chapter 1 - Itchyhead..."
I found this, randomly, trying to find an old interview I did for this book. I’m not sure who wrote this up, but its kind of amazing… a cliff notes, essentially, of the NEW YORK FOUR graphic novel Ryan Kelly and I did for Minx. It’s capped off with a list of locations and businesses, etc. that appeared in the book, like so:
The Porto Rico Coffee Company is a coffee retailer at 40½ St. Mark’s Place.
Yaffa Cafe is at 97 St. Marks Place.
Dojo’s is a Japanese restaurant at 14 West 4th St, between Mercer St. and Broadway.
The Khyber Pass is at 34 St. Marks Place, an Afghan/Middle Eastern restaurant.
Toy Tokyo is a toy store at 121 2nd Avenue.
Kim’s Video is a DVD and music shop at 124 1st Avenue.
English singer/songwriter PJ Harvey’s Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea was released in 2000.
The Vertigo blog has released the cover for the first of the six new Demo stories Becky Cloonan and I are doing, all part of a “Brian Wood Month” stunt set for February 2010. This one is called “The Waking Life Of Angels” and deals with, very broadly, dreams and pre-cognition. It’s also one of the very, very few Demo stories that goes out of its way to tell you where the story is taking place, geographically.
Also that month: DMZ #50 (a special, extralong issue with loads of guest artists still TBA), Northlanders #25, and Northlanders Book Three.
