ISSUE 5: BEYOND THE PLEASURE DOME
THE FUTURE/POST-APOCALYPTIC ISSUE
The end times hang heavy in the back roads of Western civilization's collective psyche. But what (or who) comes after "The End"? When the curtain drops and the credits roll, when one world or another comes to completion, does the ride not still continue in some way, cycling onward toward an uncertain fate?
Past, present, and future collide in the liminal territory of the post-apocalyptic, where longstanding symbols lose their meaning and the limits of what's possible are bound only by the human imagination; with its eternal obsessions, desire, fears, hopes, dreams, and fantasies. So many worlds, so little time.
