Rebirth

Yeap, Roland is back.. in comic this time. But I'm not jumping for joy yet as the comic starts making its way into the comic store in the US in Feb next year so it'll take a while for it to get here.

I'm not exactly a fan of comic books except for The Archies so it'll be a new experience if I can lay my hands on one next year. Well it took me more than a year to finish reading all 7 volumes (and I say thank-ya), and I must say that the epic journey was worth travelling with inevitable deaths, macabrely detailed left to the imagination and page turners that griped me.

I just can't get enough of Stephen King's horror.. it helps exercise 'imagination'.

'Or one might take the tip of a pencil and magnify it. One reaches the point where a stunning realisation strikes home: The pencil-tip is not solid; it is composed of atoms which whirl and revolve like a trillion demon planets. What seems solid to us is actually only a loose net held together by gravity. Viewed at their actual size, the distances between these atoms might become leagues, gulfs, aeons. The atoms themselves are composed of nuclei and revolving protons and electrons. One may step down further to subatomic particles. And then to what? Tachyons? Nothing? Of course not. Everything in the universe denies nothing; to suggest and ending is the one absurdity.

If you fell outward to the limit of the universe, would you find a board fence and signs reading DEAD END? No. You might find something hard and rounded, as a chick must see the egg from the inside. And if you should peck through that shell (or find a door), what great and torrential light might shine through your opening at the end of space? Might you look through and discover our entire universe is but part of one atom on a blade of grass? Might you be forced to think that by burning a twig you incinerate an eternity of eternities? That existence rises not to one infinity but to an infinity of them?'
