BRIEF STORY SYNOPSIS (IMAGE):
    Adam Moon has dreams and visions he finds hard to explain, and suspects that what he sees are not visions, but reality; someone else's reality. Adam tries to discover if he is the dreamer or the dreamed as the line between the two begins to blur.

BRIEF STORY SYNOPSIS (SPACEBASS):
    We learn that Adam Moon is still under the watchful eyes of the Circus and the Four-Who-Are-One, but since his last appearance he has become a writer. While hanging out at a Cafe', Adam meets a waitress named Eve.

SPACEBASS SAYS:
    You all like Kismet, right? Don't you love it when she pops back up? Well, now another character has returned to the Psycho Circus: Adam Moon. I kind of thought his story was finished, but it obviously isn't. Pretty cool, huh? I would like to see some other characters return like The Nightmare King (he won the poll a while back, right?), Ukira, and maybe even Deuce and Dr. Magus. Gotta love pages 2 and 3. Nicely done. Can't wait until next month!

BRIEF STORY SYNOPSIS (IMAGE):
    As the world around him becomes more and more strange, Adam Moon suspects he is experiencing a breakdown or that he has been drugged. After encountering yet another terrifying apparition waiting for him at home, Adam inexplicably finds himself at the circus. He assumes this to be another hallucination, but finds that the ringmaster and the other patrons are a part of his forgotten past, and they will no longer tolerate being ignored.

BRIEF STORY SYNOPSIS (SPACEBASS):
    Adam Moon continues to see frightful images, and then his deceased father. He believes he is having a breakdown or a relapse until he is sucked into the realm of the Psycho Circus where he is directly confronted by the Four-Who-Are-One.

SPACEBASS SAYS:
    I was really struck by the artwork in this particular issue. Very creepy art that is truly horrific when you really look at it and absorb it. The bus scenes are quite creepy, and from page 15 on The Demon looks like an undertaker of sorts. Look at page 18, frame one! Wouldn't want to turn around quick and see that behind me. Pages 20 & 21 are just excellent. Can't wait to see the next issue. I'm so glad this book stays on time, because anything over a month would be too long of a wait for me! Cool tattoos in the Psycho Babble section as well.

BRIEF STORY SYNOPSIS (SPACEBASS):
    Adam Moon is forced by the Four-Who-Are-One to face his past and relive the gaps in his memory. After confronting his father, Adam lets go of his past and learns to forgive.

SPACEBASS SAYS:
    Of course I had to jinx this issue. Last time I said how great it is that the book is always on time, and what a wait we had for this issue. It's hard enough to wait the normal length of time, but I just couldn't wait to see the outcome of this story arc. As I was reading this issue, I kept thinking about how great it will be to read this arc all at once in a trade paperback. Waiting every month for the next installment can be a real killer, but then I guess that's a good thing, right? I am pretty confident that we haven't seen the last of Adam Moon, although his story could be complete. The Demon did say that Adam would never be free from him, right? Time will tell. I love how the story ends- on the open road. Really cool, and reminicent of the ending of 'Forever' (issue # 8) with Devon and Kara. Maybe these four will meet up on the road sometime!

We work long & hard on many of the pictures found on this site. Please do us a favor: don't
rationalize stealing ANYTHING. If you can't create an original web site, don't do one!
Real simple, right? Anyway, if you do, I'll let my boys Nicky & Mickey pay you a visit. I may
even go as far as getting the Nightmare King to resurrect Deuce! This could get ugly...
