The one above is my favorite "There are No Flowers in the Real World" by David Lapham (of The Darkness and Batman fame). Anything written by him, Troy Nixey, Gregory Ruth and Paul Chadwick are worth reading.

  • "An Asset to the System" by Troy Nixey
  • "Butterfly" by Dave Gibbons
  • "Deja Vu" by Paul Chadwick
  • "A Path Among Stones" by Gregory Ruth
  • "A Sword of a Different Color" by Troy Nixey
  • "The Miller's Tale" by Paul Chadwick
  • "Wrong Number" by Vince Evans
  • "Broadcast Depth" by Bill Sienkiewicz
  • "Saviors" by Spencer Lamm

Skip: "I Kant" and "Run Saga Run" and anything by Peter Bagge. Neil Gaiman also wrote a small story called "Goliath" but it's not something I clicked with.

I saw Dark City first, liked it a lot, and didn't like Matrix.
