Rick Veitch has created this make believe world here that is simply amazing. And just in case you think he's a man that won't suffer a little for his craft . . he's got himself imprisoned and being interrogated in the beginning of each issue at Gonlocomo Bay. The people working him over are mostly interested in finding out about his Temporal Signaling idea. The thing that I like the most about this book is it's huge, and vast potential. And if anyone can explore that potential, it's Rick. He's brought out some amazing ideas . . both in this series and the last. I mean, who else would create a character that's a movie star who, through magic, was transformed into a Yeti type animal . . the Mother of the Mountain. But the real kick is . . if she wants to be turned back into human, she has to find someone that's willing to make love to her, over and over, until she reverts back. But, he's also created the man willing to do that, Royden. It's funny but as I'm writing this I'm listening to Some Kind of Wonderful by Grand Funk. I'm looking at this scene in the book and this is the perfect song for it. Serendipity . . I guess. Anyways, I love this book. Rick has taken the current state of affairs of the world and expounded on them a little bit and taken them off into a fatastic-al direction that probably will never happen, but . . you never know. Corporate sponsorship during war. Whodathunkit?
