It's crystal clear what that trailer is about, man and nature merging into one and forming a symbiotic mass who's only purpose is total existential peace and existing in perfect harmony on a molecular level, it's clearly a comment on how out of touch humanity is with itself. We've closed ourselves off to everything but bright shiny objects, consumption of mass produced products has taken the place of spiritual oneness and turned us away from the promise of fulfillment the unspoiled natural Earth has always offered man. I've only seen such themes played out in one other artist besides Dash, John Byrne. Bravo, Dash, Bravo! I think Logan is being purposely dense.

If so, that’s a totally valid method of evaluation." Heh! I hadn't thought so, but that would explain the weird smell. Laura H. says: “Are you sitting at the direct center of the comics blogsphere?

Jesus, really? Let me take a quick check of everyone within 50 yards of where I'm sitting and see if they're talking about THE BOTTOMLESS BELLY BUTTON.
