When Reality Slides
Reality—however you define it (and most define it as a deeply “multi-layered onion,” to borrow from Jim Goad)—cannot be denied having its own hypnotic, imprisoning power. We know, ultimately, that everything is an illusion, a surface. A blink of an eye, the pull of a trigger, and all is forgotten—all erased. Instantly.

Frank Miller's Ronin
Frank Miller, like Alan Moore, R. Crumb, Neil Gaiman, and a few others, is a titan in the reinvention of comics—the reboot into a new, adult-ready state of cultural being—insomuch as he literally reinvented the kooky, quirky Batman and redefined him for the world not as a wisecracking Adam West doing the “Batusi,” but as a brooding, cyberpunk anarcho-vigilante cum morally conflicted crime fighter in The Dark Knight Returns—the reverberations of which would be felt down through the decades and into the new century, the new millennium. Now, Batman is horror much, much more than humor—and even more human.

The Echo in the Red Dust: My Martian Garden and the Memories I Carried
The air on Mars smelled of metallic dust and something faintly sweet, a scent unique to the synthetic atmospheres our habitats provided.
