I came up with a lot of things in my own head, too. I've read a lot about theories, some pointing in the direction of semiotics and metafiction and many other fancy words. I wanted a place to vent, to discuss the mound of theories/guesses/thoughts about the thing as a whole. Also english is not my native language, so feel free to correct me whenever needed. First of all: this is my point of view on the series, maybe too far fetched or compromised by pointless searching and reading. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This could mean life or death for Michael and Liam, and sanity or crazy-mess for Emerson. If they don't, time could be altered in ways that wouldn't be so favorable to their members. Add to this list of problems, the Hourglass members are given an ultimatum from Chronos, the infamous powers-that-be, to find Jack Landers and bring him to them. Our hopes that Jack faded out into a pile of goo are dashed when he appears to Kaleb and the gang to taunt them. ![]() Not only can Emerson and Michael see them, but now all the member of Hourglass can too. When we pick up the story, "rips," visions of the past or future, are appearing everywhere and with increasing magnitude and frequency. This was especially fun because Kaleb is a classic bad-boy! To hear his flippant and flirtatious comments throughout had me cracking up. Timepiece continues the story of Hourglass, but this time from Kaleb's POV. When I finished Hourglass I knew there was a sequel planned, but I had no idea it would not be told from our original narrator, Emerson's, POV. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Us too! That’s why we are here today, to talk about his best comics, in my opinion. ![]() Of course, everybody has something to say about Alan Moore and his work. Bissette, Rick Veitch, John Totleben, Kevin O’Neill and more. In fact, reading Alan Moore’s work is required to fully understand the History of comic books – it helps that he collaborated with some of the greatest artists of his time like Dave Gibbons, Eddie Campbell, Ian Gibson, Stephen R. His way to push the boundaries of what superhero comics can be never stopped to amaze and his success is undeniably justified.Īlthough he became a controversial figure and sometimes a tragic one too, you can not look at his career with anything but respect. Nobody can deny how important some of his books were and still are for the comic book industry and for a lot of readers. His work helped to define a new creative era of the medium at a time when it needed a way to grow, to mature. Alan Moore is the most influential comics writer of the 1980s-1990s. ![]() ![]() ![]() Other entries include "C is for Clare who wasted away" and "W is for Winnie embedded in ice."

It is an alphabet book but it really isn't appropriate for small children unless the parent wants to explain death as well as the alphabet. ![]() Death is standing behind the children holding an umbrella on the book's cover. The entries are accompanied by fascinating, dark drawings. The twenty-six children die in different ways as the dark humored book takes the reader from A to Z.
