November 24, 2011 - News for Mikesjournal #11 Rough draft of pages 22 and 23

It is hard to give on the internet an accurate look at how the new issue will look in print. We have gone to a full 11 x 17" format which means that when opened up the pages will stretch out a full 34". The pages are rich and textured with many small details that will please the patient and careful viewer.

 

The story lines started in Mikesjournal #10 will continue. Elements of the incident at the Cern particle accelerator which collapse the universe and suddenly make the past present and future happen at the same time will begin to unfold as will the connections between the stories that began in Japan 400 years ago, Chicago 80 years ago and New York City in the present day.

 

The stories are about the connections between everything and to follow that we have tried to match the images on each of the double page spread with the story and with each other. The images below help to illustrate the Chicago story. The characters attempt to escape (with the help of Guy Lombardo who makes a cameo appearance). Although not clear at all on this reduced web image Mr. Lombardo is clearly the headline attraction at the Aragon on that fateful dawn when Ramon attempts to rescue Suzie from her captivity at a speakeasy in the shadow of the Aragon.
