Cerebus Adventures on the moon continues.
According to George Tarim is a Void, a dark, cold presence. Terim, the female God that the Cirinists worship, the one that Cerebus doesn't believe in, well it's real, too. It's light. Light and heat and yes it is the female half of Tarim. The two exist side by side, one cannot be without the other.
This is beautifully, if sparely drawn, and marvelously described. It is the miracle of creation. Two separate entities, one male, one female joining together to create something new and exciting.
Dave copped a lot of flak throughout the series for his anti feminist attitude. I don't think any of those critics read Abhorring Vacuums. No one who hates women could write this.

"I don't think any of those critics read Abhorring Vacuums. No one who hates women could write this." Sorry but this is a fallacious thinking, namely post hoc ergo propter hoc: believing that temporal succession implies a causal relation.
ReplyDeleteEric, thanks for reading and commenting. We obviously saw it differently. I'll try and keep my personal views out of it from now on.
