Foaming at the Mouth

If I have to wait too much longer for Local, I will most definitely die.

Is it happenstance that the first issue is based in Portland, Oregon - a place that I hold near and dear to my heart? I think not! I suspect that Brian Wood infiltrated my mind at some point during the creative process. Every preview page I've seen for this series makes me start salivating. There is no way that I can overstate my excitement for this series. What makes this particularly exciting is that this reads like the best character study series ever, with each issue following a different character in a different location.

Check out the blog put together by Brian Wood, artist Ryan Kelley, and editor James Lucas Jones. Brian Wood also has some preview pages set up on his flickr account. There is even a preview page for issue #2 posted.

I suppose that's enough of the fangirl theatrics for today. A real post with substance will follow once I get my hands on an issue.
