I am extremely happy to say that my younger brother Squibbit (AKA Evan Shechet) has taken over artistic production of the first NVR-NDR comic. As you can see from some of his early sketches, this is going to be incredibly badass. I am hoping to release the comic as a free zine and for online download.
20 bajillion years in the mega-ultra hyper future, in the land of lazer-apocalypse doom candy tron kingdom core place space land, a infinite multiplicity of giant space tacos have emerged from their mega-ultra hyper bays and are at this very nano-second preparing to launch backwards towards the singularity, the point of maximum novelty.
"It is impossible for the meaning of the universe to be understood, as this will cause it to disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre."
I paraphrased that from Douglas Adams ("Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"). It might help explain my idea for the universe of NVR-NDR. NVR-NDR begins with the end of this universe, and immediate creation of a new reality paradigm. In a infinite mega-verse of infinite possiblities, nothing is too ridiculous. Hence things like skirts that happen to be pizza as well as nearly impenetrable armor or giant cupcakes that are lazer cannons can be taken in a completely serious light. There are several reasons that I chose to create such things:
1.) To emphasize the insane nature of our own current reality.
2.) To explore the idea of absurdity as normality.
3.) To take advantage of the deeply rooted "food" meme that exists in pop culture.
4.) CUZ IT ROOLZ, DUH.
I am currently working on a cover of DJ Sammy's cover of "Heaven". Its sounding pretty good, and I feel the lyrics and vibe are extremely appropriate for the end of my storyline.
The world of NVR_NDR runs on different metaphysical rules than the universe we currently inhabit. In practice, it is similar to a video game, or a solipsistic dream. A soul born into NVR_NDR comes into existence full grown and with all of its faculties, although it must still progress to achieve its full potential by questing through "the game".
The topography of NVR_NDR is a shifting mass of shapes and light. Time and space are shaped more like a vortex than a curve. Objects on the edge of the senses dissolve into non-existence. Various levels/areas are inhabited by seraphim-like guardian creatures who attack souls to test their worth. Only those strong enough to defeat the guardians can proceed; if the soul is defeated it will become one of the guardian creatures.
