The November/December 2012 issue of SOMA magazine is the Obsession issue.

She waits for the one who will love her, the one who will inhale her minions into their very soul, and the one who will carry her name.

In that instant, whether by osmosis, mutation, or a combination of the two, his heart began to pump ink and Mr. Magazine™ was born.
