Hither.

Some new preview art up, too: and he's promised an update at grantmorrison.com: I'll believe it when I see it...

Interesting stuff. I popped by during the week and was sure other stuff had been added to the site previously, such as the background on the paperverse. Nice to think that a lot of the technology of The Hand has, quite literally, been dreamt up in a comic book.

Ploughing through the letters reveals some intriguing revelations about future projects. Who's up for Savage Sword Of Jesus Christ then?

H'mm, about the end of issue 6 of "The Filth"... if agents of the Hand can supercede jurisdiction of all Eartly law agencies... couldn't Slade just show the police his Hand badge? unless it's not on him at the time...

I have to be honest and say that I'm confused over which 'Greg Feely' was being arrested. The original Greg (i.e. Ned Slade) had shaved his head so I'm assuming this is him, especially as he talks about going off and having adventures and referring to Anders Klimaks.

If this is the case, then what happened to the stand-in Greg Feely?

I'm more intrigued by the work of The Frequency. How did Secret Original become what appears to be a high ranking figure? Mercury seems to be more in control because he's writing the life stories of those characters (he probably created SO in the first place). Surely SO's mind would have been fucked over by realising what he really was? I was puzzled by the whole reasons behind the Frequency until I read the background info on the Crack Comics site. I do like the idea of 'Inky Tech'

I'd be interested in hearing theories about where The Crack is as well. At first I thought it was the future because they talked about using Hand compression technology to kill people by aging them. Then I thought it was being compressed down to a 2D paperverse itself. Intriguing stuff anyway.

The guy's cat was dying, he was questioning his own sanity, thinking there's nothing but mold in the fishbowl - probably he was losing his marbles - and the cops charged him with paedophilia, upon which they found dead animals buried in his backyard - if you were in that situation, would wou try and use a badge you thought was nothing but part of a sick figment of your imagination?
