The 'medium' Is Unaware Of Its Attractiveness, That's All. Everyone Loves Comics. I've Proven This To My Own Satisfaction By Handing Them Out To Acountants, Insurance Brokers, Hairdressers, Mothers Of Children, Black Belts, Pop Stars, Taxi Drivers, Painters, Lesbians, Doctors Etc. Etc. The X-files, Buffy, The Matrix, X-men - Mainstream Culture Is Not What It Once Was When Science Fiction And Comics Fans Huddled In Cellars Like Gnostic Christians Dodging The Romans. We Should Come Up Into The Light Soon Before We Suffocate.

Superhero Science Has Taught Me This: Entire Universes Fit Comfortably Inside Our Skulls. Not Just One Or Two But Endless Universes Can Be Packed Into That Dark, Wet, And Bony Hollow Without Breaking It Open From The Inside. The Space In Our Heads Will Stretch To Accommodate Them All. The Real Doorway To The Fifth Dimension Was Always Right Here. Inside. That Infinite Interior Space Contains All The Divine, The Alien, And The Unworldly We’ll Ever Need.

I Tend To Only Read Comics Written By Friends Or People I've Known. And I'm Not A Great Comic Reader.

I Think That Superhero Comics In Particular Are Really Useful For Talking About Big Emotions And Feelings, And Personifying And Concretizing Symbols.

Sometimes... Sometimes I Think The Asylum Is A Head. We're Inside A Huge Head That Dreams Us All Into Being. Perhaps It's Your Head, Batman. Arkham Is A Looking Glass... And We Are You.
