Comics in Collaboration

I was happy to see that The Oxford American is featuring our collaboration--mine and Josh's--on its website. We chose to explore the future by crafting a Deepwater origin myth of sorts. (This issue has a great fiction piece by Victor LaValle in it--did I mention that already?) I love collaborating with Josh and getting to put on the hat of comics writer. Working in the comics form helps me clarify and experiment with narrative strategies because visual narratives have to be so much more distilled. Because this piece was so imagistic, this one did not feel like as much of a stretch as some more action-driven collaborations...
