Hitting on themes of freedom of expression, hacking, cutting-edge media manipulation, and police surveillance, it remains as relevant today as it did back then.<\/p>\n<p>The Channel Zero collection contains the original series; the prequel graphic novel, Jennie One (illustrated by Becky Cloonan); the best of the two Public Domain design books; and almost fifteen years of extras, rarities, short stories, and unused art. Also featuring the now-classic Warren Ellis introduction and an all-new cover by Wood, this is the must-have edition. A blistering take on media control in a repressive future America!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Channel Zero is literally the start of my comics career, the first proper comic I ever made, and as such as informed everything that&#8217;s come after it, especially DMZ and the upcoming THE MASSIVE.\u201d Tells Brian Wood. \u201cIt also put me and Becky Cloonan together, helping build a creative partnership that has lasted a decade. This edition here is the definitive one, including everything worth printing, including a color section that includes the original covers to the single issues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Praise for Brian Wood &amp; Channel Zero:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWood\u2019s message is clear enough: apathy is the real enemy, and it is harder to fight than any totalitarian government.\u201d\u2014Wired<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s about anger as a positive force of creation\u2026Someone\u2019s remembered what comics are for.
