Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

After graduating from the prestigious Parsons School of Design, Brian Wood spent several years in video game design with Rockstar Games, most notably for the Grand Theft Auto franchise before moving full time into writing. Brian’s comic book work has been published by DC Entertainment, Marvel Comics, Image Comics, Dark Horse, Boom! Studios, and others.

His original graphic novels are some of the most influential in comics. Starting with Channel Zero, his street activist call-to-arms, Brian has unapologetically made politics and socially conscious thrillers the center of his career. His DMZ defined comics’ response to the war on terror. The Massive took on climate change and next-gen environmentalism. Briggs Land, the crime saga set on a secessionist compound, tackled the scourge of the alt right. Starve is about food sustainability and class divide.

His historical fiction has similarly blazed a singular trail. Northlanders, his Viking anthology, set a benchmark in the comics industry. Rebels, his populist American Revolution anthology, is on the curriculum of schools across the country. Sword Daughter is a pulpy Samurai/Norse mashup, and Magnus Black, the brutal fixer in Black Road, is a Jack Reacher for the dark ages.

His YA books Demo, Local, Mara, and The New York Four have made YASLA and New York Public Library best-of lists. He’s also written for some of the biggest franchises in pop culture, including Star Wars, Aliens, Terminator, RoboCop, and the X-Men.

He co-wrote the award-winning video game 1979 Revolution: Black Friday and contributed story material to Fox’s upcoming Alien shooter.

He’s written TV pilots for AMC, Team Downey and Sonar Entertainment, and WV Enterprises. His DMZ is currently in production at HBO Max with Ava DuVernay directing.

Made my best of 2015 climate reading list.

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2016

This five-volume graphic novel series follows the crew of the Kapital, a ship that's roaming a future world where sea levels have inundated most of the coastlines and sent nations and newly formed city-states spasming into survival mode. The ship belongs to a direct action environmental group, captained by a former mercenary, who suddenly have to confront what it means to be environmentalists at the end of the world.
Take away: As these volumes rolled out starting in 2013 and ended in 2015, I couldn't wait to get a hold of each and every one. You shouldn't wait, either.

Wood keeps the plot well and alive

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2014

I was skeptical as to where Wood might take this series before I bought this but ten pages in I was already hooked. Not only does longship keep you interested with more back stories of its characters, but it keeps the low-intensity conflict of post crash earth pumping like storm swells off the shores of Bali. There were times during this read that I was so caught up in the plot that I could have suffered a few crotch punches from an over medicated seven year old in a Christmas eve shopping mall before realizing what was happening.
Overall, great read. Can't wait to see where Wood goes with the next one.

Love this series! Complex characters (for a comic) and well written and paced.

Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2014

Georg has a nuclear submarine. Mag has demons in his past and Georg is one of them. Callum Israel wants to scuttle the sub but catching it won't be easy once it gets into the fouled waters that used to be New York City. The American military, which may or may not be under the control of the American government, wants Callum to surrender, but Callum regards them as pirates who are trying to steal his ship.

This volume gives Callum a chance to drive the Kapital down the streets of Manhattan, which is pretty cool. It also fills in Georg's backstory, explains his relationship to Mag, and sends the story in a new direction. The world that Callum is trying to save is a mess. Is it about to end? Will anyone survive? The real question is, will the crew members of the Kapital survive each other?

In the volume's second story, we get some history, pre- and post-crash, of Callum's environmental activism with Ninth Wave. Brian Wood does a nuanced take on the tension between "save the whales" and the need to put food on the table, particularly when hunters are after a species of whale that is not endangered. When the story moves to the present, the reader wonders whether Callum is saving whales, settling an old grudge, or meeting his destiny. And we are left, as always, wondering what the future holds.

The Massive is full of surprises -- we're always learning new things about the characters (although too little about the mysterious Mary) -- but the biggest surprise is that the quality of the writing is so consistent. OK, maybe it's not a surprise because Brian Wood is just that good. And as always, the art complements the story perfectly.

The story line of this series is really starting to pick up a lot more in this book. I got through this book in one sitting. i couldn't put it down.

The weakest of the first three volumes.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 3, 2014

Verified Purchase

The intensity drops off in this volume and it feels a little bit like the story is starting to drift aimlessly. The character developments don't quite hit the mark either making it the weakest of the three volumes released thus far. I still hold out a lot of hope for the series and this is definitely worth reading but it does feel as if the potential is dropping off somewhat from the highs of the first and second volumes.
