The town where we live shapes and defines many aspects of our life. It’s often where our families, both biological and chosen, reside. It can be where we went to school, where we work, and a place of many happy and perhaps unfortunate memories. So, what would happen if, suddenly overnight, the place you lived and everyone else who lived there vanished? And not just physically, but from the memories of everyone in the world, except you and your fellow survivors? What would you do? How would you cope? What could cause this to happen? And what if it happened before?These are the questions that fuel The Displaced, a five-issue horror mystery miniseries from Boom! Studios, by writer Ed Brisson and artist Luca Casalanguida. With the first issue in stores now, CBR spoke with Brisson about the book, which he’s been developing for 15 years, and the town that disappears: Oshawa, Ontario, the place where he grew up.Ed Brisson: I first started working on this back in 2008, not long after visiting Oshawa for the fifth or sixth time since moving away. Like anyone else who’s moved away from the city they grew up in, there is always this feeling of nostalgia when you go back. But every time I visited, there was also this feeling of… I don’t know, it’s like I was looking for something that wasn’t there anymore. I couldn’t tell you what I was looking for, just that it was missing. It was that feeling that began to spark this idea of the city vanishing and people forgetting about it.
