Was anybody really surprised when Lemmy died? Certainly not the legions of journalistic outlets like The New York Times, The New York Post and even Canada's National Post, who were quick to add "hard living" to their headline descriptions of the lost icon. The tag's not inaccurate, as the Motorhead frontman was known to many people more for his legendary partying than his music, although Kilmister had reined things in a bit toward the end. Lung infections forced him down to a pack of cigarettes a week, and screwdrivers replaced Jack and Cokes in a likely ineffectual concession to his diabetes.

Physicist and Top Cow Productions president, Matt Hawkins, wants you to take seriously the cyborg science of his property mash-up series, IXth Generation. So much so that last week he published IXth Generation: Hidden Files #1, an issue that devotes about half its real estate to describing the various locales of this particular vision of the future – one where ruling elites govern realms of mechanical citizens – and the rest to an analysis of the science that makes it possible. But does he have an artificial limb to stand on?
