Dark Horse Comics
A blistering take on media control in a repressive future America! DMZ and The Massive creator Brian Wood launched an all-out assault on the comics medium in 1997 with Channel Zero, an influential, forward-thinking series that combined art, politics, and graphic design in a unique way. Touching on themes of freedom of expression, hacking, cutting-edge media manipulation, and police surveillance, it remains as relevant today as it did back then.
The Channel Zero collection contains the original series, the prequel graphic novel Jennie One (illustrated by Becky Cloonan), the best of the two Public Domain design books, and almost fifteen years of extras, rarities, short stories, and unused art. Also featuring the now-classic Warren Ellis introduction and an all-new cover by Wood, this is the must-have edition. See where it all began!
“It’s about anger as a positive force of creation . . . Someone’s remembered what comics are for. Meet Brian Wood.”—Warren Ellis

In Which Becky and I Make More Demo Comics for 2008
Us Talking About It At Wondercon
There will be much more info to come over the course of the spring and summer. I’m still at Wondercon, getting some writing done before I head over for the final day of the show. I’ll just say that making more Demo (and re-releasing the existing Demo collection) at a publisher like Vertigo is such a perfect alignment of the stars, I can’t wait to get started.
