I definitely didn't guess when I originally read it that it first had been published in 1997. Jenny 2.5 is a performance artist/student in New York who fights against the heavily censored mainstream media and works to rouse people from their apathy and cynicism. She is earnestly anti-establishment but as her popularity grows her views are challenged and become more complex. I can see how that would come off as a bit trite if you're reading this, but the book really isn't cliche at all. Wood exploits what the black and white medium offers very well (line drawings, photo-realism, etc.) and it makes me wonder why he doesn't illustrate more of his own work. Lots of propaganda drawings with slogans like "progress backwards" and "your mind is a weapon. use it!" Channel Zero has been referred to as a comic for people who don't read comics (like, Maus, Sandman, et. al.), but I really object to that. It holds appeal for readers who aren't totally into the spandex is a far better way of putting it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

A blistering take on media control in a repressive future America! DMZ and The Massive creator Brian Wood launched an all-out assault on the comics medium in 1997 with Channel Zero, an influential, forward-thinking series that combined art, politics, and graphic design in a unique way. Touching on themes of freedom of expression, hacking, cutting-edge media manipulation, and police+surveillance, it remains as relevant today as it did back then. 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. See where it all began! No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The style is bold black and white with many sillhouettes and use of negative space, interspersed with street signs and advertisements. The whole thing is very late-90s. There are floppy disks, phone booths and hand-held video cameras, with a hacktivist vibe. ( )
