Battle Neverending is an intriguing fusion of political conjecture and neo-leftist superheroicism seen through the mind of a black angel who we come to know as ‘Tomorrowman’. The book begins on such a steep ascent of post apocalyptic truth that we are initially led to wonder how it could get any further out. However, within a few pages of our initial introduction, a path appears before us, and we begin to wind our way upon it. Once the lines are drawn, we see the force of good as anything that builds construction in the universe, while simultaneously rectifying the sins of its impropriety and its contrapositive, aptly named the ‘garbageman’, as being anything that spreads its filth with no conjecture.

Between these poles our protagonist plys his seminal trade. As an employee in the pursuit of acknowledging God’s illumination, this protector of the masses fights an evil that strives for control of all that is right. The man in spandex garners his powers from an alien source and delivers a series of blows for justice in the form of a being patterned after those now seen in theater and on DVD. Spidey, Batman and the X-Men are all latter day versions of this powerful figure and vice-versa.

Set upon a timeline that spans both the past and future, we acknowledge a notion of what could have been in a series of potential realities that seem to trap nascent truths of our socio-political systems in their micronic webs and gathers the theosophies that hold true within their bindings in a sort of psychic effluvia. Action and chaos ensue along themes of violence and retribution, while only a short while into this fray, a mass of formature occurs. Soon thereafter, a completion resolves its own reciprocity and, without divulging any details of the intricacies therein, becomes an end unto itself.
