Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
When good things end, there is not much the reader can do except think back over the enormity of what they have mentally digested and rejoice in the life they have witnessed being unveiled, or weep silently at just how privileged they have been to be allowed time in someone else’s thoughts and reasoning.

We live for the moment which leaves us breathless, stunned and awed, the moment in which you can physically feel the jaw drop, the mouth salivate, the senses work overtime, unless you cling to the life of the ordered monk, the embittered human of little necessity and dull unenquiring mind, then the wow factor is an emotion to which the world loves to share, to see our eyes blaze with sheer wonder.

Bright lights attract the eye, the Neon Ghosts that blazes on the side of buildings, that pound at the door of the part of the brain that insists on stimuli, the advertising that entices you to investigate, the invitation highlighted by the texture, the colour and the magnetism that has been orchestrated into shape to make you see the radiance that is held within.

If there is any particular story arc from the house of Marvel comics that is ripe for cinematic adaption, then arguably the one that has surely the most potential is the Secret Invasion storyline that ran across various comic book character’s titles and in its own pages.
As with the epic nature of the Infinity Gauntlet saga that surrounded itself over the first phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Secret Invasion gives the sense of security that will come from the pursuit of an overriding storyline that can bring in new characters to the fore, and take those that have already got their slots conformed in upcoming television series to another level.

The way we damage other people is not always meant, it is not always with a design or purpose, we leave that to politicians and those with the agenda of keeping secrets intact. However, occasionally the damage executed is created by the tsunami of events that wash over us, the knives that are out and the inability to make sense of the world around us; the fear of what we might believe is the absurd, the futile and the meaningless.

The art of the surreal is to draw attention to the sense of the off balance that we feel when we stop to look at the world from a position of standing still, to make us do more than think, but to accept that all we may have put faith in may be wrong, that we have forgotten to stop blindly accepting, that we don’t know how to communicate with someone with different ideas without starting a fight; to consent to the fantastic and weird is the best possible course of action that humanity can do.

What may seem surreal to one, makes perfect sense in the eyes of another, and it is in this dichotomy of visual experiences that confronts the reader of Rob Davis’ The Motherless Oven, to delve further into the notion of the rationalising strange, that is what constitutes the embrace of imagination, of recognising that the extraordinary can happen.

It can only be hoped that the more you may know someone, the more they may surprise you, after all what is the point of the sunrise if you cannot enjoy the spectacle of the dusk and twilight that inhabits the same path.
Whilst night may fall and plunge the world into darkness, Dusk illuminates the shadows with one final kiss on the brow of the collective streets and buildings, the people’s thoughts which turn to images of lengthening shadows, the stranger by our side which has remained hidden by the pursuit of day, and whilst the shadow breathes one last time, it is to the Grandfather of American poetry that we remember that, “Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn.”

An author can obsess over the same story as many times as they wish, as long as they continue to change the narrative, the setting and the drama, it is after all within their power to set the tale anyway they wish if it means the reader is hooked on the detail; what must always alter is the flow, the discussion and the frank exchange of how the world responds.

Timing is everything, even when seen benefit of what may seem like distance between events, what you read, listen too, witness, can resonate through time and feel as if it is talking to you personally in the here and now.
That timing is paramount in the preserve of recognition, we understand the connection because the warning signs, the heartbeat of joy or the trepidation of our own fickle echo are calling out to be heeded, and regardless of whether we see the link as a song from the 60s, a paragraph from a book written in 1949 or even as a piece of graphic art that has been drawn and coloured for maximum effect, the resonating belief is one of stimulation and inspiration.
