Today, I continue the perplexing and odd story of Xombi. So far, issue 2 has shed little light on this already enigmatic story. We were left last week with Dr. David Kim being shot by a weird looking mummy alien. Then his hot assistant saved him by using nanotechnology which used “raw matter” to heal or save someone physically. Unfortunately, adorable assistant girl was used for “raw matter” by the nanomachines and Dr. Kim wakes up with part of her slumped to the floor, most of her torso eaten away, ribs exposed.

The story continues but it doesn’t really lead anywhere yet. There’s an introduction of a maniac Dr. Sugarman who apparently wants to end the world with the information collected at Dr. Kim’s lab.

Anyways, on the subject of the apocalypse…a lot of people think it’s coming in four years. I’ve heard that December of 2012 is when the world is “supposed” to end. Now, I don’t know if I believe this. Every time someone or a group of someones predicts that the world is coming to an end, nothing ever happens. Depending on how you view the “end”, nothing has ceased to exist other than a number of animal species.

But if the world was going to end, what would be the one thing you would do before the last second of the last breath of your life? Would it be having sex with the one person you love more than anything? Would it be praying for a peaceful demise? Or would you do something strange? Would you perhaps spend it trying to learn backgammon? Or maybe you would choose to eat as much fudge as you could before the big, crazy ending?

I dunno, I’d probably try to fit in as many fun, awesome things as I could. I’d definitely eat some of my favorite food and at least make out with my husband. I’d probably also take my dogs out for one last game of fetch. But really, you should try and do things you love everyday of your life. If not, what’s the fun in living?
