Dark Horse To Unveil Brian Wood/Becky Cloonan Project? OMGYes.

Goodness me! With Northlanders  and DMZ  ending I’ve been going into fits about where I’ll get my fix of Wood. (Quiet you.) Apparently the good man is teaming up again with Becky Cloonan and that sends a shiver of squee down my leg.

Robot 6:

Dark Horse will announce a project at New York Comic Con that reunites Eisner-nominated Demo collaborators Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan.

Pointing to the “Comic TBA – Brian Wood (DMZ, Demo, Northlanders) and Becky Cloonan (Demo, Pixu)” entry on the publisher’s Oct. 15 signing schedule, Wood simply wrote “Huh?” on his blog and posted the graphic at right.

The duo first partnered on Channel Zero: Jennie One, the 2003 sequel to Wood’s first series Channel Zero. But the 12-issue Demo, published from November 2003 to November 2004, by AiT/Planet Lar, was the breakout book for both collaborators, earning Eisner Award nominations for best limited series and best single issue. Wood and Cloonan revisted their milestone work in 2010 with the six-issue Demo: Volume 2 from Vertigo. They also reteamed last year for “The Girl in the Ice,” a two-issue story for Wood’s Viking saga Northlanders.

Fantastic. The GIrl In The Ice  was one of my favorite stories last year. A two-part Hemingway meets Vikings depressing as fuck beautiful meditation. This can only mean awesome.
