Demo

A single-issue comic from the independent publisher AiT/Planet Lar, Demo (2005) is a self-contained story that explores the quiet, human consequences of possessing an unusual ability. Created by writer Brian Wood and artist Becky Cloonan, the series distills the "superpowered teen" genre into a grounded, character-driven vignette. This debut issue matters as a minimalist, emotionally resonant take on the medium's genre conventions.
