Local No. 3, for Free!

Back in January 2006, as part of "Comics Capital," a feature package looking at Richmond's comics scene, I interviewed Brian Wood, the writer behind Local, a comic-book series in which each installment takes place in a different city. Why? The third issue, which revolves around the fictional Richmond band Theories and Defenses, is set here. Now, more than two years after that interview was published, Local is getting collected into a single volume, and in honor of the occasion, the publisher, Oni Press, has put the entire third issue up on its MySpace page.
