A 12-part comic series published by Oni starting in 2005 and ending in 2008, ''Local'' covered twelve years in the life of Megan McKeenan. Each issue was a stand-alone [[Slice of Life]] story, sometimes with Megan as the main character, sometimes with her only in the background. Written by Brian Wood (''[[DMZ (Comic Book)|DMZ]]'', ''[[Northlanders (Comic Book)|Northlanders]]'') and beautifully drawn by Ryan Kelly (''Giant Robot Warriors''), each issue took place in a different city in North America and featured Megan at a different place in her life.
 
The twelve parts were:
Line 44:
* [[Silent Scenery Panel]]: So much, it could count as [[Scenery Porn]].
* [[Slice of Life]]
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Sort of; the eponymous "Polaroid Boyfriend" lets himself into Megan's apartment and leaves a polaroid of himself. In return, she actually leaves a polaroid of ''herself'' for him to find.
* [[Stopped Caring]]: Possibly the "rich hottie" in #8.
* [[Time Skip]]
