He uses a number of interesting panel layouts when depicting the journey through the forest. Kyle Charles’ artwork continues to impress. The way he uses Hello Danny and Sasha to verbally combat each other really draws the distinction between the two characters and shows just how different and maybe similar they are. Moreci continues to develop his characters as well. The tension continues to mount as you furiously flip through the book wanting to find out what is going to happen. He builds up tension within one party and then transitions to the other party and does the same. Moreci continues to deploy the split-group technique. There is also plenty of action throughout the book. Moreci continues to ask philosophical questions These are real problems the characters are facing and they are searching for answers.
It doesn’t come off as blunt or heavy-handed. The beauty of Moreci’s writing is he is able to intertwine the philosophical and religious points within the story. Not all of the issue is about philosophy or religion. There are quite a number of similarities including Elbus’ prayers for forgiveness all leading me to believe in Moreci being somewhat inspired by the Bible in this issue. The only person seemingly immune to the temptations of the forest is Hello Danny as he brings Sasha and Elbus to meet his father. To me, it felt like Jesus’ 40 days and 40 nights in the desert where he was tempted by the devil.

Although Moreci only dedicates a few panels directly to this discussion, there is an overarching parallel between the journey Elbus and Sasha take through the forest with the android Hello Danny.
He examines how faith has meaning to different individuals no matter their specific religion. Moreci continues to ask philosophical questions, but he also examines a religious or spiritual theme. Moreci gets your head churning right from the start. The discussion continues with Kim arguing that nothing can be real or it can be as real as her dream within the other world. She believes the vision was real, just as she sits on a cliff in Dispater is real.
Kim is troubled by her vision in the previous issue. Michael Moreci makes no bones about it he jumps right into the philosophical question of what is real or not. It seems like Mastodon is making a statement about the disaffected groups and the atmosphere around the time this song was released, and even two years later today.Listen to the latest episode of our weekly comics podcast! I feel this song illustrates a part of the story of any number of real life people who, once lost and angry, find a cause to join after being absorbed into a clan. "And devour your humanity": another way of saying "Give your life." "Follow me and follow sound to the end of your eternity": where, "eternity" was an infinite path the character being spoken to was on before, but by following "sound", the character now has a "destiny" or destination, bringing it back to the song title. Maybe unveiling itself "above the ground" is another one of the clan's goals. Underground in a dark, silent environment. "We can be above the ground": suggests they are living underground right now. This line also downplays "life", as if it was something fungible.Ī few things here. "It's all we need": we don't need your other unique aspects your "life" for the clan is all we need. "Save your life" suggests the acting out from the beginning may have included downward spiraling / suicidal thoughts/ behavior. It needs the "lives" of its members, literally or metaphorically: organ transplant ("So I can breathe"), vs something like devoting all your energy to the clan. The clan will do these things, "mend your broken heart" and "retort the trials that you have lost" if the person joins. "The moment" could be the the event or that started the clan the clan's ideals therefore consumed their "sight". The recruiter describes how the environment for both of them is "dark and bare," with "no clarity, no light". These next few lines are how the "recruiter" describes the clan: "no illness and no pain", "Have not found any suffering". Running without vision." "Wronging all that's right" suggests that the character is acting out because he/she was suffering. In this story, the character being spoken to has suffered without a say or guidance: "Silent all you life. So to me, this song tells a story where a secretive clan recruits someone to "Give their live". This is not only a play on "clandestine" but also evokes imagery from the words "clan" and "destiny". My InterpretationI like the song's title, Clandestiny.
