Hmm seems like we’ve been heard. Larry’s posted on his website about the True Facts review. That’s pretty cool. He checks out what people have said about his books across the net good and bad and presents them. He’s done this for a while now, so it’s nice to get mentioned.

Seems Larry’s also read my previous post where I got on my high horse and said stuff about Brian Wood’s current body of work. Reading that post it would seem that I hated Woods. Which is really not true at all. In fact the proof that I’m a fan of the man’s work can be found in this little post here. In that post I put Channel Zero as one of my Top 11 graphic novels. Considering I’ve got over 300 graphic novels, in two different countries, I think that’s a pretty major indicator that I like Channel Zero; but as that post pointed out I think Woody’s lost his edge. I’ve got most of Bri’s work

1. Pounded
2. Fight for Tomorrow
3. The Couriers
4. Couscous Express
5. Public Domain
6. Channel Zero
7. Jennie 1.0

the last three being what I consider his best work. Notice I don’t own anything past the Couriers.

Since The Couriers I just thought “No this just isn’t good enough”. His work usually has so much energy and passion, but Pounded, The Couriers etc all left me with a sour taste in my mouth, and I realised that he wasn’t a creator I could follow blindly as I do with many creators, whether the story even slightly appeals or not, because a good creator will make me interested in what they’re writing about. I was disappointed when he decided not to finish/start The Walk (aborted series), because that sounded like something I would enjoy and had that Woods edge.

Having said that I will be buying Demo when Larry decides to release it as a trade paperback, because I’m not buying your floppies Larry ^_^.
