MacroMicroCosm "Anti-Heroics" Vol 6 Iss 3

Just as 2021 roars in with the hopeful positivity of the majority of the planet, an underbelly to shaking dead branches off Yggdrasil exists. Speaking of mystic trees… In this issue, we watch a crow eat as Shaumberg meets a female Jesus in Under the Jonquil by Gryffyd Eamonn Dempsey. Kyle Ross descends into vigilanteism with gunfire and manic laughter in another abridgement of R.L. Arenz III’s newly released novel Aegis. Newcomer short fiction rockstar Elyssa Campbell brings us the first of a multi-issue serial Mouth of the River; a distinctly Canadian science-fiction-meets-Prairie-life adventure with Thomas, Ava and Louis. Sapha Burnell brings the necessity for a new paradigm in her poem Poseidon. Tyler W Burch continues his series on World Building with an article on species creation. So where is the trip-wire between unorthodox ‘hero’ and traditionalism’s ‘villain’? A sense of ethical humanity.
