New review of "Cerebus: Church & State Volume 1"
http://mindlessones.com/2014/09/30/cerebus-church-state-volume-1/
From the article: "Church and State is, for many people, the high-water mark of Cerebus. Certainly, it’s the point at which everything comes together perfectly for the first time. If we’re to compare Sim to the Beatles, Church & State might be thought of as his Rubber Soul"

We might have to rerender this one -the bubbles weren't actually supposed to be there...it's a hallucination so anything goes, but...
speaking of -something went wrong with the scene file. Top of the letters "e", "b" and "s" are missing.
