This comic is a fun glimpse the behind the scenes of one of my favorite graphic novels. I wish it had gone into a little more detail about the creative process and how Jason and Bryan began their working relationship but I enjoyed it. Seeing how much of a time crunch they were working under also gives a lot of insight into why the last quarter of Seconds is so much weaker than the rest of the book.

Reread this before reading seconds and smiled to see “published in Portland, OR” at the bottom
