The Displaced #1

by Ed Brisson, Luca Casalanguida (artist)

The city of Oshawa, Ontario has vanished without a trace. Even worse, nobody remembers it or the 170,000 missing residents that disappeared along with it.
As the survivors also fall into the forgotten, they must seek each other out, if they hope to have any chance of surviving in a world where no one believes they exist…
Highly acclaimed writer Ed Brisson ( The Brave and the Bold, Predator), rising star artist Luca Casalanguida (Regarding the Matter of Oswald’s Body, James Bond), and red hot colorist Dee Cunniffe (Barnstormers, Crossover) pose the question… how can you feel connected to reality or each other if by all veritable means, you don’t exist?

A comic book about the town that I was born and raised in, and still live in?

And it's about all of us just disappearing?

Hell yes, sign me up.

I'm really impressed with how faithful the artist is with the localities, and how we skip around to neighbouring towns.

Looking forward to reading the rest of this one.

A horror take about Oshawa vanishing in the middle of the night. It gives me a similar vibe to the one about the friends who get trapped at a cabin dying an apocalypse. A good read and I’m looking forward to the rest of the story.

The town has disappeared and no one can remember. It's like the leftovers, or was it without a trace, or perhaps never seen again. I can't remember it's all fading from my memory, but somehow we've been here before. The crazy old man who knows all the answers but no one thinks to ask him because he might give away the plot. So we will wait until March for more answers. Until then, we will forget what we just read, like the people of Oshawa, or was it Hayfield. I can't remember.

i feel like the story is familiar, but maybe at some point all the stories seem familiar.

Your city disappears and no one remembers it ever existed
