Cover: "Broken" by Michelle Stock

Everything can be broken. In fact, the whole act of living is to be steadily breaking.  It is a beautiful horrible thing, like a cute kitten with a dead bird in its mouth.  The point of this issue is to illustrate the best and worst of breakings I could find--the kind of stories and poems that will make you happy that you are "a little more together" than the sorry saps confronting you on the pages of Bring the Ink this season. 

Also, better late than never, the first part of Kal-El is God is up and ready for your perusal.  Enjoy.  But don't break anything because remember the old rule, "You break it, you buy it."
