So the whole story up to this point has been two-sided, with one story being a flashback of sorts and in the back of the issue, upside down. Jack gets fed a nigh-lethal dose of drugs and starts seeing the comic elements. he hits his head on the panel borders. im going insaneeeeeeeee hehehHEHEHEHHEHEHEHHEHEHEH and he BREAKS THE PANEL BORDERS,

WALKS THROUGH THE ADS

AND INTO THE UPSIDEDOWN STORY

Local Man #1 is getting a second printing with a new cover by Tony Fleecs and Tim Seeley. Here’s what I had to say about the first issue over on Smash Pages:

The other first issue I read this week was Local Man, the new Image Comics title by Tim Seeley and Tony Fleecs, along with colorists Brad Simpson and Felipe Sobriero. It introduces us to Crossjack, a down-on-his-luck superhero who returns home to live with his parents after something happens. This is definitely an Image Comics series — it’s set in that very loose shared universe where Youngblood and Spawn and Savage Dragon exist, with references to Cyberforce, Malebolgia and Brigade. Crossjack and the team he was on, Third Gen, are new creations, but the creators have a lot of fun suggesting they were around during the early Image heyday, and the comic is even split into two stories — one about Crossjack’s current dilemma, and one very 1990s Image story about the team (which has members like Cutting Edge, Softkore and Neon who feel like they came right out of a Liefeld comic).
