Uh...not to be picky; but I think the last slice needs to be nudged upwards a tad.

Nudged.

Better.
Superlative work, all. I am once again taken with the fact that the fractured faces of Spudboy's first panel appear again courtesy of eexee in the fourth. And the space theme throughout ties it all together.
Another poster-quality corpse.

Immediately the green part struck me as a long pipe, with the basket as a bowl. Then I was delighted to find the base of the pipe emerging from a cigarette!

There's something fundamentally unsettling about this one, and I mean that as a "job well done" in terms of theme, mood and tone. The demonic entities at the top just exude chaos and depravity. They're coalescing out of mad abstraction and they dwarf the cosmos, adding to the sense of horror of the piece. The green geometric column that so successfully passes through the majority of the corpse really disrupts the composition, preventing any sense of balance and dominating the image, visually distracting the eye from the more muted or monotone images. The skeletons of fish and frogs look like fossils giving a sense of decay over vast periods of time. The repeated frog skulls of the last panel suggest infestation. Even the smoking woman in the bottom panel adds to the theme of corruption, Isis as femme fatale. I really like the man fishing out of the heart of the spiral galaxy. Cool concept. I wish the image were more prominently featured as it is much more interesting then the creel. Nice works all.
