Comments: Marvin Mosely leaves his family for a short time to help make the world a better place. Well as things have a way of going here to they do not turn out as hoped for. His life turns out way different than he expected. He does seem happy though.
Then we switch to Elsewhere. We see a beautfully illustrated woman and the use of colors on her clothing is amazing. Ruby is Mosely's daughter and she is part of the technological advancement of the human race. Is that a good thing for her or the human race? Only time will tell.
As Mosely leaves this plane of existance he stops and is reborn into something more. He was reborn with a purpose and the techno gods, the machine men should beware.
In this world run by machines the one thing that stands out loud and clear is the emotions of humans. Mosely has strong emotions of love and hate.
Mosely is a man who was beaten down by the system yet he never gave up and now he has a means to fight back. The why, how and who of how he got this gift have yet to be explained. A little mystery is good.

Comments: The world, the human race has been enhanced. Now Mosely is not for this and he is an old fashioned guy. He has wanted to fight back against the machines and now he has the power to do so. First up Mosely faces the God of the Ground and this being is a technological horror. The machines are so sure of their superiority. Mankind and especially one Marvin Mosely has other ideas. The human spirit is a hard thing to put down and here Mosely stands up and fights for what he believes in.
A mysterious man maybe a God shows himself to Mosely. Who is he?
Mosely is a man of morals and he is also stuck in the past. Is this new techological world for the better or should it regress back.
Mosely is drawn with a powerful look. The energy around him delivers the feel of his strength. Yet he still looks and acts like a common man.
"Gloria Mosely" Here we see the start of the technology revolution. Yes it does look like it is all just to help people. Some people prefer the human touch.

Comments: The Metastream is down and all hell has broken loose. Mosely wants humans back in control only problem the machines are like Gods among us. Mosely's daughter has sided with the machines.
Mosely and his ex-wife have a long conversation. It is about the state of the world. Also about their lives and Ruby their daughter.
Mosely finds himself in a battle with a self proclaimed God. Two down and one to go.
The comic needs more of a focus. The characters need more background and how the world came to be as it is is skipped over fast. The so called Gods are illustrated beautifully. Mosely's character does have some similiarities to Thor God of Thunder and Lightning. Mosely though is portayed as an ordinary who just wants to make the world better for mankind.
Mosely is a man, a father, a husband once and he is a guy who you can sympathize with. He is a guy who could be you or me.

Comments: Atum has a mission and he will do everything he can to carry it out. He is an electronic god and he means to change the human race as we know it whether or not they like it.
Marvin Mosely fights against Atum while Mosely's daughter was with Atum until she learns his final plan. His plan is to take humanity to the next level but what if humanity does not want to go.
Mosely finds himself in a battle for his life against Atum. Its science vs magic and only one being will survive. Mosely fights on for his daughter and because he knows there is still hope. Hope for the human race.
The art is nicely done with some beautiful imagery in the computer stream. Mosely makes for a awesome looking God of thunder and lightning. Atum is exactly what you might expect a machine God to look like. Ruby is tenacious she will do whatever it takes to save humanity.
It is wonderfull and heartwarming to see a family come together and bond against a common threat.

Comments: Marvin Mosely, his ex Gloria and their daughter Ruby are all together now against Atum. Then we see the God of the Unseen Realm. This being/creature is awe inspiring. It inspires hopelessness, and despair for the human race. Mosely calls his hammer to him and it comes. He is determined to protect his wife, his daughter and the human race.
Mosely fights out of love and with the powerful magic hammer it is enough. Plus after the battle family preveils and yes that is what is most important here.
The art compliments the story nicely. The characters are brought to life just as you expect them to be.
Mosely is a wonderful man who gets the chance here to be even more. Yet it is the fact that he is just a man an ordinary guy with a great family that makes it possible for him to survive this and triumph.
Man one, machines zero.
