Wish I could give this one SIX stars . . .
I read a lot of graphic novels -- actual stories, not just compiled superhero comics -- and I rarely come across anything this literary. Most of these twelve stories could easily have been published, without pictures, in a "little" magazine somewhere. The intriguing thing is how they evolve, first to last, from "NYC" and "Bad Blood," which actually are about not-necessarily-super powers with a ...

Local
Brian Wood

Oni Press, 2008

From Brian Wood (Demo, DMZ, Northlanders) and Ryan Kelly (Lucifer, American Virgin) comes Local, a collection of twelve interconnected short stories. Crossing genres as it crosses the country, Local examines Megan McKeenan, a young woman who sets off from Portland, OR with nothing but a backpack and a bad case of wanderlust. Each emotional vignette is a self-contained story that represents one year in the life of this young vagabond as she ...

DMZ Vol. 1: On the Ground

A great start; brilliant idea, but ultimately wasted later
Aside from the war-based messages some readers might hang on (like or dislike), this graphic novel is full of interesting characters who are realistic given their surroundings. Each person holds a story that our protagonists lets blossom. The creator has such a gem here, and it is a shame that in the proceeding volumes he throws all that away to go into this morality vs. business vs. military ...

Best DMZ TPB Yet!
The book consists of different takes of a bloody event taken place in DMZ. If you haven't read any DMZ before, you can still jump in and enjoy this volume. Different artists that worked on this volume are also amazing to clearly show different POVs. Check it out!

Couscous Express

Brian Wood, Brett Weldele

AiT/PlanetLar, 2001

nice suprise...
I discovered Brian Wood a few weeks back, starting with Channel Zero (in itself a really impressive book), and it didn't take long to find this. I'm not sure which one impressed me more. Couscous Express isn't high concept, it has a simple plot, simple artwork, nothing to fancy in the writing... but its the way it comes together which seals the deal - the characterisation is excellent, and the ...

The Couriers 03: The Ballad Of Johnny Funwrecker

Comic Book Action At Its Finest
Brian Wood and Rob G have done it again. Fans of the previous Couriers graphic novels will not be disappointed. Special and Mustafa are 2 of the coolest characters in comics right now and "The Ballad of Johnny Funwrecker" is a prequel story that reveals how they met and how special got her scar. Great characters, beautifully choreographed action sequences, smart dialogue and one hell of an ...

The Art of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire

Fantasy Flight Games, Brian Wood

Fantasy Flight Games, 2005

Perfect for the Song of Ice and Fire Fan
This book was more than just art depicting the characters and venues of George R.R. Martin. It was interesting to see how I pictured things matched up against the "artworks". I was also very happy to see that it contained quite a bit of information, as well.

Fight for Tomorrow

Vertigo, 2008

Simply an underrated story
My first foray into Brain Wood's writing was through DMZ, the monthly ongoing series featuring a fictional civil war in the states. The brilliant mixture of good action and characterization, and the whole idea of America having another civil war, drew me in. In fact, I think it's one of the most fresh and creative comic series out there. We see lots of the same creative energy here in Fight ...

Best book of the year!
I could not put this book down. This book reads like a crazy-insane John Woo film only hipper! The action is practically non-stop! And the very few moments that you feel like you can maybe pause for a minute or two, you don't want to because you're too interested in what's coming next! This book is a wise-ass, thrill-loving, tough-as-nails action fest! Rob G's art is fantastic, too. He ...

The rednecks had it coming
Another great book from Brian Wood. The Couriers (and other books in Brian Wood's NYC centric universe) delivers more of that sharp, funny action that he's known for. Special and Mustafa on a revenge mission vs. mercenary rednecks? It's as good as it sounds!

Four stars for New York Four
The New York Four is about Riley Wilder trying to make it though her first semester in college, and the three girls she befriends during that time. This was a good book. Was it the Citizen Kane of comics? No, but it was a fun read, that rang true with what it is like during your first semester in college, as well as the landscape of New York City. The city felt alive in every since of the ...

Channel Zero: Jennie One

Brian Wood

AiT/PlanetLar, 2003

A prequel of sorts to 'Channel Zero'
While nowhere as deep or moody as the first Channel Zero book - 'Jennie One,' is nonetheless not a bad read for fans of this saga. Functioning as a prequel of sorts, this book chronicles Jennie 2.5's earlier days in NYC on the eve of the passage of the Clean Act Bill and how she becomes ensconed in the new American rebellion. This book is also noteworthy in that Brian Wood turns over penciling ...
