Knee Deep in the Wire

After years of putting it off, I have finally begun watching the famed HBO series that unearths the layers of Baltimore life. The show has some amazing editing and cinematography. I especially like the jump cuts that leap to the different characters in symbolic ways, coffee cups becoming hub-caps, cans being shipping containers or beer. I wonder what a comic book version of the Wire would look like? A little bit of Jock with some Sean Phillips? If you haven’t seen it…go watch the Wire.
