Demo Vol. 2 #5

Written by Brian Wood

Basically, with this issue of Demo, Wood and Cloonan reconstruct the old Freedom 55 commercials, however the young woman who goes back to visit herself in the past is not that concerned about her financial security (because she's already used her time travel abilities to deal with that issue).  With this, Wood and Cloonan tap into that very basic human wish: to know then what you know now.

Elisabeth is a seriously unhappy woman.  She has great success in business (because of her ability to travel through time somehow), but has not had a relationship that has lasted more than two months, and has great difficulty connecting with people.  Her teen years were pretty brutal, mostly due to her father's mistreatment of her, and her biggest regret has been that she let go of her first love, Evey, a classmate who was always there for her.

Demo is always a pretty interesting comic, and I'm sad that there is only one issue left in this volume.
