3 8 P E R S P E C T I V E | J U L Y / A U G U S T 2 0 1 8 A D G M E E T S C O M I C - C O N TOOTH AND CLAW BY MARK PACELLA MY STORY IS ABOUT SECOND CHANCES. MY STORY IS ABOUT CHARACTERS WHO WERE ONCE PROTECTORS, CELEBRATED OFFICERS AND LOVERS. NOW FALLEN THROUGH THE CRACKS, BROKEN BY A CORRUPT SYSTEM, DISCARDED BY AN INDIFFERENT SOCIETY. EXISTING ON A TENUOUS THREAD, AWAITING A LAST CHANCE THAT MAY NEVER COME. MY STORY IS ABOUT A LOST RACE OF HYBRID HUMANS FROM THE PREHISTORIC PAST. CREATURES WITH INCREDIBLE STRENGTH AND AGILITY, CONNECTED TO THEMSELVES AND THEIR WORLD IN A SUPER, SPIRITUAL WAY. THEY ARE A LOST BRANCH ON OUR EVOLUTIONARY TREE, A RACE THAT WAS TRULY ONE WITH THE NATURAL AND SUPERNATURAL, CONNECTING ALL OF LIFE AND ITS SHARED ENERGY. MY STORY IS ABOUT AN ATTACK BY AN ADVANCED RACE OF HUMAN BEINGS. HEAVILY ARMED AND TECHNOLOGICALLY SUPERIOR WHO COME TO THIS PREHISTORIC EDEN TO PLUNDER ITS NATURAL RESOURCES. RESOURCES THEY THEMSELVES HAVE LONG SINCE USED UP AND SQUANDERED. WITHOUT REMORSE UPON THEIR DYING WORLD. MY STORY IS ABOUT A BATTLE BETWEEN OUR MOST NATURAL SELVES AND OUR TECHNOLOGICAL ONES. THE CONNECTION TO ALL NATURAL LIFE, ATTACKED BY ONE THAT HAS LOST IT ALL IN TRADE OF TECHNOLOGY, AND A COLD EVOLUTIONARY EXODUS AWAY FROM MOTHER EARTH. MY STORY IS ABOUT SECOND CHANCES. IT'S ABOUT TWO LOVERS CONNECTED TO TWO WORLDS WHO RETURN FROM THE COSMIC EITHER TO SAVE US FROM THE RETURNING THREAT OF OUR DARKEST SELVES. MY STORY IS ABOUT WHAT OUR HUMANITY REALLY MEANS.
