Canadian GN envisions vanishing city

Durham Region discusses a comic by Oshawa, Ontario native Ed Brisson titled "The Displaced":
If you want to “prepare to be amazed,” imagine if Oshawa suddenly vanished into thin air, like it never existed.

That’s the premise of a new comic book from the mind of Oshawa native Ed Brisson, creator of “The Displaced,” which will be released this week.

[...] The author, has written a host of comic titles including “Batman and Robin Eternal,” “Sons of Anarchy,” “Secret Avengers,” and “The Violent” for DC Comics, Marvel Comics and BOOM Studios, which produced “The Displaced.”

Brisson has lived on both coasts, living in Kelowna, B.C., and Nova Scotia, but thoughts of Oshawa for his latest work, with a yearning for home and the days of his youth, motivated him to create “The Displaced.”

[...] The idea about Oshawa disappearing, which was the concept for his comic book, comes from a “feeling of disconnection” he had when he returned for visits after a number of decades away and saw how much the city had changed.
Some could say the comics industry as we know it changed considerably too over past decades, and not all for the better. Why, even Brisson, it could be argued, has to shoulder some responsibility for participating in bringing down the quality of mainstream, seeing as he'd written for the Big Two over the years.

I wish him good luck selling his new GN, but that he contributed to the Big Two long after they'd degenerated so badly, and he likely never protested what the people in charge were doing, is exactly why it's hard to get very excited about projects like these. Marvel and DC are going to vanish themselves sooner or later, and the worst part is that it'll likely be with a whimper, based on how wokeness plagued them so badly.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
