    by Brian Wood & Ryan Kelly "The Process." The flipside to the previous issue of Local, this Austin, TX-based story tracks Megan's brother Matthew McKeenan, as he also reacts to the news of their parent's death. While Megan's journey was proactive, sentimental, and in the end, rather uplifting, Matthew's process is radically different, and possibly dangerous.

    by Brian Wood & Ryan Kelly More than a decade after Megan McKeenan set off on her cross-continental vagabond lifestyle, she's gone from a naive and brash teenager to a woman in her thirties, wise beyond her years. In this final issue, she travels to rural Vermont and the vacation house she remembers from her early childhood to finally settle down. She reflects on her life and what the future holds. Her entire life has been running from one situation to the next - can she find peace of mind in the New England woods? Cover price $2.99.
