Product Description

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 struggles to find a place to call home, both physically and spiritually.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly brilliant., 30 Mar 2009

By	Jamie Sterne "with an E!" (Chester, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this after being impressed by the review on the web show called iFanboy. It was one of their christmas gift recommendations. In brief, its about a young woman called Megan who leaves her Portland, Oregon home to go travelling. Sometimes she plays a small part in the stories, just happens to be someplace when something happens. In others she is the main character. I was very surprised at how profound I found this book, its about so many things, human nature, human flaws, love, sex and longing. I got the impression that the stories say a lot about the authors feeling towards the locations. The cities seem vital to the story, hence the title I suppose.

The artwork is stunning, locations have been really well researched and the level of details seems almost obsessive.

This is one of the greatest books I have read, not just comics books, I mean regular novels. I enjoyed this in the same sort of way I enjoyed The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. I really felt involved in the stories in a personal way, even the most hermet like soul will empathise with Megan or some of the other players in this story.

Be aware this is not a superhero book or a book about the supernatural, its about regular people and very human experience.
