BodyWorld

Here is a mesmerizing trailer for Dash Shaw's recently published BodyWorld, which was originally a webcomic:



I didn't get very far into BodyWorld in its online incarnation. I don't think that's necessarily a reflection on the work; so far the few webcomics that I've enjoyed all follow a more-or-less basic gag strip format or a fairly linear narrative structure. BodyWorld gives the impression of being a lot more complex, even dauntingly so, but the print version looks stunning, and the ambition of Shaw's hefty Bottomless Belly Button paid off
surprisingly well so I'm quite looking forward to reading this soon.
