new wood
Brian Wood has a new book coming out from Top Shelf in 2008 and the cover looks awesome:
Here's the copy from the publisher's website:
"Following up on the time-honored adage "you can't go home again", Dogs Day End details the personal journey of 30-year-old Andrew Maguire, pulled back to the small upstate hometown by his mother as she enters the final stages of cancer. Once back, he revisits the demons of his youth: his estranged father, resentful ex-buddies, and his jilted high school sweetheart. As the twin pressures of the past and the present threaten to bury him, Andrew makes an all-or-nothing decision to come to terms with it all.
Dogs Day End reads like an indie film on paper, reminiscent of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Garden State, but with the edge of Closer or Affliction."
This looks effin' awesome! Brian Wood is one of my favorites anyways so this will be on my must buy list.
I'm not familiar with the artist's work on this one, but it looks awesome. And Wood really shines on this kind of story.
