Caption: INTERVIEW WITH DOOM, CONDUCTED BY V.
RICHARDS.
Caption: “Please state your name.”
Caption: “You know my name.”
Caption: “Yes, I do, but for the record: what is your
name?”
Caption: “Doom.”
Caption: “And how did you come to possess the Cosmic
Control Rod?”
Caption: “I followed the Devil through the
mirror. Doom rules All, and All begs to
be ruled.
Doom: Oh - - I have such wonderful friends.
Caption: “Once inside the mirror, the Devil became
pieces, multiplying, insects emerging from a seventeen year sleep, breathing
fire and breaking the armor of Doom.
Caption: “Sprouting new limbs, I vanquished the Devil
and gazed upon the Hell that was now mine.”
Caption: “Why did you leave?”
Caption: “I was exiled, pulled away from yet another
kingdom.
Caption: “We’re linked, you know - - your father and
I.
Caption: “Ouroboros into infinite eternities.”
Wow. Derek, you once again drop some cosmic weirdness and stick the landing. I like how you litearlly used one of the pieces as your page, sprinkling some great storytelling on top of it. And what a story it is. Some really evocative language in there that I can't help but wonder after.
