So, of course, the week that Bri is on vacation and away from his computer is the week that all those crazy bloggers decide to review DEMO, and he's nominated for a couple of Eisners, and the scans for DEMO #6 come in as well as the cover to DEMO #9 for solicitation. So it's a good thing I'm keeping track of all this stuff for him on the daily update, like Bill Sherman reviewing Couscous Express and the two Couriers books today, and John Jakala posting up the cover to DEMO #9 for everyone to see. Because otherwise, I have the feeling that he's gonna need two weeks to recover from this one week he took off. :)

Mimi, Ryan, and I heartily, warmly, and back-slapping-ly congratulate Brian Wood for his Eisner nods in the Best Cover Artist category, for his art and design work on Global Frequency and in the Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition category as writer of The Couriers; Channel Zero: Jennie One, and Demo. As artist for DC/Wildstorm, and as writer for AiT/Planet Lar. Brian Wood's got you coming and going!






Tim O'Neil has a pretty insightful review of Codeflesh today (although I canNOT for the life of me figure out why no one can seem to suss out the significance of Cameron's UPC mask: the choice of a common marketing symbol is a metacomment on corporate superhero iconography... it's easy to see if you're a cynical marketing bastard, I guess).

And Shawn Hoke proves that at least someone besides John Jakala understands what Bri and Becky and I are trying to do with Demo: be the monthly book for OGN fans.

Bill Sherman bucks the trend and reviews Last of the Independents instead of Demo, his first time out in reviewing that big box of goodness I sent, and Johnny Bacardi takes it to the next level with his reviews of Scurvy Dogs, White Death, Badlands, and Demo. He mentions he wasn't familiar with Charlie's work as a replacement for Tony Moore on Walking Dead, and then I covered his butt in Charlie goodness to get him up-to-date. That hillbilly Kirkman better thank me.

Also, if you haven't been over to Quicken Forbidden lately, you should. Spiffed right up, Dave Roman and John Green have Jax Epoch and the Quicken Forbidden news, updates, behind-the-scenes info, and online comics. And I'm a big fan of Teen Boat, myself.

John Jakala serves up a very complete review of Demo #1-5 today on his Grotesque Anatomy blog, joining Laura Gjovaag and Graeme McMillan in presenting an in-depth view of the series, so far. It also wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on Tim O'Neil's blog, as he's planning on going through the the whole mess of books I sent him. Today, he starts off with... Demo #1-5.

One of the best things about doing "Proof of Concept" is that since I work those creative writing muscles a lot more often than I used to (dealing, as I have for the past couple of years, with the more administrative aspects of running the company), it takes me a lot less time to get into that headspace I need for writing. The good news is that I've already arranged an artist for my next 96-pager, and I'm in the new position of having someone waiting for script. This makes me write like a maniac.
