History.
Shiga first submitted "Demon" to publishers around 2014, but says that he made a number of unreasonable demands, including publishing as pamphlets, variable size of issues, an issue with no images, and no altering of any unsavory material. No publisher accepted, and instead Shiga self-published, posting out comics that he printed with a Risograph printer, as well as publishing the comic online as a webcomic. Shiga offered early online editions to people who supported him through Patreon. "Demon" was completed in 2016 and consisted of twenty-one issues. "Demon" was then picked up by publisher First Second who republished the collection as four volumes.
Plot and themes.
"Demon" is a supernatural action series. After the death of his wife and daughter in a collision with a drunk truck driver, Jimmy Yee attempts suicide but instead of dying, he finds himself in the adjacent hotel room. Eventually, he realizes that following death his consciousness takes over the nearest person in proximity to his own corpse.
Shiga states that "Demon" is a homage to old superhero comics and to 1990s alternative comics.
