Or should he locate this new killer himself, so he can express his admiration for the other's "art?" Or is it possible that psycho Dexter himself, admittedly not the most balanced of fellows, is finally going completely insane and committing these messy crimes himself? Despite his penchant for vivisection, it's hard not to like Dexter as his coldly logical personality struggles to emulate emotions he doesn't feel and to keep up his appearance as a caring, unremarkable human being. But when a new serial killer starts working in Miami, staging elaborately grisly scenes that are, to Dexter, an obvious attempt at communication from one monster to another, the eponymous protagonist finds himself at a loss. Adopted at the age of four after an unnamed tragedy left him orphaned, Dexter's learned, with help from his pragmatic policeman father, to channel his "gift," killing only those who deal in death themselves. Mind you, Dexter's the good guy in this story. He's also a sociopathic serial killer whose "Dark Passenger" drives him to commit the occasional dismemberment. He's polite, says all the right things, and rarely calls attention to himself. He's a handsome, though reluctant, ladies' man.

Barbara Kingsolver’s thoughtful story of a missionary family in Belgian Congo on the cusp of its independence combines an interesting narrative structure with meaningful commentary on imperialism and zealotry.

Breathed launched a Sunday-only strip, Outland a month later, an experimental strip based on a minor Bloom County character that soon evolved into essentially a Sundays-only Bloom County, as Opus and Bill the Cat each came to Outland.
