Local Hc
From Brian Wood (Demo, DMZ, Northlanders) and Ryan Kelly (Lucifer, American Virgin, The New Your Four) comes Local, a collection of twelve interconnected short stories, each featuring Megan McKeenan, a young woman who sets out from Portland, Oregon with nothing but a rucksack and a bad case of wanderlust.
These emotional vignettes each represent a year in the life of this young vagabond as she searches for a place to call home, both physically and spiritually. Set in twelve real life cities across North America, this painstakingly researched and meticulously illustrated volume collects for the first time the critically acclaimed series that writer Brian K. Vaughan (Lost, Runaways, Y: The Last Man) called "the sharpest slices of life the medium has ever seen."

I love this book. I read the last 2 issues because I got them for free out of the cheap comic box at my local comic store. And I bought the Hardcover because I was intrigued by those issues. I read the whole thing in one night and have been re-reading parts of this every since. This is fantastic.
