Dave Roberts' MANTRA Infinity #1 Cover

Crash and burn
Black September Marvel line
How'd they get so desperate?
Keep Mantra alive?

Help me, please
Burn this cover from my eyes
Oh, Ultraverse alive again
Just lay down and die!

Hey, hey
You know what to do
Oh, baby, drive away from Malibu

Get art soon
Price won't go any higher
How are you so burnt when
You're barely on fire?

Brand new Dave Roberts
Jim gonna rescue you
Jim Amash Infinity tonight, inky
Pour over me

Hey, hey
We're just jealous of you
Oh, Mantra, fly away to Malibu
Bought out by Marvel
And let them swallow you
This is history, yeah, in Malibu

And the clock goes down
The auction's underway
And the clock goes down
I watch it slip away
And the clock goes down
I watch you bid away
And I would

And I knew
Love would win you your art
Oh, and I knew
This darkest secret of your heart

Hey, hey
I'm gonna follow you
Oh baby, bid away
Yeah, it's Malibu

Oceans of Ultras
Oceans of stars
Tentacle piece is where you
Drown your swords

Never read Sherwood
The art just radiates
Never read Sherwood
The girl just babysits

Marcus, I don't know where to begin. This just might be genius.

This is fantastic!

For whatever reason, the local comic shops stopped carrying Mantra post-Black September.  It's only in the last year that I learned of the hatred fans had for the inheritor of the title.

I always liked the silver design post-Black September.
