How did I miss the fact that Demo returns in February?
Demo v.2 #1
I’m a big fan of Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan’s original Demo series, which was published by AiT/Planet Lar and later re-released by Vertigo. Not only do I have the original issues and the Vertigo collection, but I even have the script book that AiT published. So I’m both stunned and embarrassed that I not only missed this post on the Vertigo blog about the book’s return in February (which is also being dubbed Brian Wood month at Vertigo), but also that I apparently didn’t see it in the February solicitations when they went live.
Luckily I caught it today on Becky Cloonan’s blog.
“This one is called ‘The Waking Life Of Angels’ and deals with, very broadly, dreams and pre-cognition,” Wood said. “It’s also one of the very, very few Demo stories that goes out of its way to tell you where the story is taking place, geographically.”
The cover’s above, and the first issue of due in February — which is still awesome news, even three weeks later.

It is indeed awesome news. I was afraid something had put the project on the back burner since it was originally announced to be released in fall-ish 2009, but then a few weeks ago I totally lurked throughout Brian Wood’s forums to see that it was tentatively planned for February. And then seeing it in the February solicits still blew my mind! Bummer that it’s only six issues, but I can’t really complain that it’s coming back as a sequel at all now can I?
