Demo #9 Breaking Up

Directed by Matt Lynds Starring Ian MacLeod and Sarah Anderson, Demo #9 is the latest in the black and white series by Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan. This issue tells the story of Angie and Gabe, a couple breaking up in a coffee shop. Through flashbacks, the reader is able to relive their first date and their loving moments as well as their fights and misunderstandings. However, for Gabe, these are more than simple recollections — they are indelible memories. He never forgets a conversation. Until the day he dies, hell remember all the good times. Unfortunately, hell also remember all the bad times. These memories wont fade over the years. The comic is essentially a single well-realized and well-written break-up scene, but when one considers the ramifications of Gabes ability, it adds an extra layer to the story.
