Panspermia is the final comic in the Mother Nature arc (the first storyline arc that I have finished, although not the first one I’ve envisioned). This comic is one of the one’s that I am most proud of, in my mind it is very original and tells a powerful allegorical story of the future. One has so little control over the genetic children one begets and after one’s death there is no knowledge of their future fate. For Mungi this is an entire planet or perhaps even beyond that, if the genetic material from that planet is spread through Panspermia (a further fulfillment of the eponymous comic) or as an intergalactic empire. Even more frightening is the thought that one’s descendants can be cruel or evil, in a repudiation of Christianity ‘the sins of sons are unknown to deceased fathers’ (a pithy and patriarchal phrase). – Zachary
