OK, I missed the 1-day april first preview (I was on my easter holiday, far far away from barbelith or the net): What did it say?
My personal pet theory (a work in progress) regarding the invisibles and the filth and hypersigils, is that 'the invisibles' comic is the 'healthy' metauniverse, and the filth is the 'sick' one. It's through their interaction, as a pair of opposites undergoing a binary iteration, that results in changes to our universe, the overlap, even though I do realise that this is slightly different to what KM and Robin said in the College, I put this down to the fact that they don't realise that they're fictional characters, and consequently living in a metauniverse. The filth infect the invisibles (comic/universe), and are interpreted as the outer church/archons/evil control structures by our nervous sytems, as part of the process of assimilating 'otherness'. Much the same as an ovum might interpret an army of sperm as an evil, infectious invading force. I suspect that the filth will consist of the same process happening in reverse, with the good, orderly filth people being infected with invisibleness. And of course, 'sick' and 'healthy' are completely arbitrary definitions which depend purely on the perspective of the characters concerned.
Probably complete nonsense, but interesting speculation, maybe.
Either way, I can't wait til June 5th.

That art looks pretty damn fine if I do say so myself.

Looks like we're in for an old fashioned British urban thing with lots of ugly men in macs frowning though.

Has anyone got a clear image of all five hand symbols? I fancy making a wallpaper using all 5. Or a bigger scan of the cover of previews?

I've got the Finger, the Horns, the Palm, and the Fist, which I grabbed during the one-day preview on April 1st—couldn't find the Three on its own anywhere, though. They're each 354 x 339.

For my desktop, I've cropped & blown up the PREVIESS bit a little (to 300 x 275), centered it, and set my desktop color to match the orange background. Looks niiiiice on 1024 x 768.

I also did a minimalist wallpaper with the four hands and a bit of orange piping. The boss made me take it down cos the finger was rather, erm, prominent (rather than obscured as it is on the PREVIEWS cover).

E-mail me, and I'll send you the lot.
