5/30/2023 0 Comments Neil gaiman make great artIllustrated by Dave Wyatt, who skillfully renders the large alien scale and quick pacing the narrative requires, the two-page story is unsettling and sophisticated it offers a horrific existential vision of humanity as the creation of an uncaring alien intelligence, but also suggests that humanity is not able to meet even the limited expectations of our creator. The trick, however, is freezing the planet before the humans develop the capability to destroy themselves, because they always do. In issue 489, Gaiman’s “Conversation Piece” presents a discussion between two unseen alien entities regarding the handiwork of one of the aliens - the alien seeds worlds with human life in order to generate civilization and structures on the planet so that it can eventually freeze the planet for use as a decorative ornament, killing all life on the planet in the process.
