This is a modernism-parody inspired by Mars Attacks!

Martin was a Wall Street stockbroker who had a terrible desire to keep stealing comic books. He stole comic books at least three times a week and then read them voraciously over the weekend (sometimes on drugs). Martin was wealthy and successful and an Ivy League graduate (Dartmouth College). He even had a few girlfriends who kept him satisfied, but something was missing in Martin's life --- sanity. The dude stole so many comic books you had to wonder if he was some kind of 'comic book shoplifting prophet.' No one finds comic books all that 'artistically erudite' (they're supposed to be fun!), but who wants to steal them??
Martin had reason to be insane. Al Jazeera TV gave all kinds of radical fanatical Muslims and terrorists the view that media-access was a modern 'toy.' Why not destroy the World Trade Center when you can turn on the TV and just watch random 'analysts' talk about stocks on Bloomberg TV? It was all kind of claustrophobic. It read like something out of a comic book(!), and people thought of 'modernism-symbolic' comic book 'super-villains' such as Electro (Marvel Comics), a freak who manipulated electric-shocks, Video-Man (Marvel Comics), an abomination conceived in an arcade-matrix, and Mr. Freeze (DC Comics), a sadistic ice-gun wielding mad scientist who believed society should suffer for his wife's malady. ISIS was the new 'black dog,' and Martin's propensity for stealing bunches of comic books somehow seemed kind of...sane.
Americans love horror-films and comics/cartoons and of course Hollywood (USA) big-budget colossuses such as Titanic (Leo DiCaprio) and Top Gun (Tom Cruise). It was in America where federally-supervised fast-food, pornography, and candy really took off as 'industries.' Americans were intrigued by supermarket tabloids about celebrities-gone-insane and taking dips in the river fantasizing about being the mythical Lady of the Lake (strange-woman from Arthurian legend). The Brits had Diana-tabloids, but Americans cherished any and all kinds of pathetic street-chatter --- e.g., OJ Simpson, drunk-cops, weird senators, movie-stars with illegitimate kids seeking alimony, whatever. Martin once stole an Excalibur comic book, and you had to wonder if he was intimidating some post-9/11 tragedy about a woman jumping off a skyscraper in NYC!!
As Martin continued to steal comic books, Russia and Chechnya plunged into anarchy on the eve of the 2018 World Cup soccer-tournament. Moscow burned to the ground, and Trump's troops could only watch in awe at what was once the great city of the Kremlin, Lenin, and Lily Tomlin(!). The terrible photos on National Geographic of the 'great burning Russian city' reminded people of the story of Anastasia and Ivan the Terrible (was he Russian?). Forget about Batman or the Flash; this was an apocalypse that no one could deter, but fortunately, we can imagine that someone in Hollywood (USA) might make a movie about a man like our good-fellow Martin and make us feel more 'at-ease' about uncontrollable madness.
Atlantis was the new multi-site casino-resort being designed/built around the world. Martin Landau was the advertising spokesman/narrator of Atlantis ads in America. There were Atlantis hubs being planned even in China(!). No one wanted to burn down Atlantis, since it was like Disney meets Trump Taj Mahal(!). Martin planned to visit Atlantis one day with a trunk-full of comic books, daydreaming about one day finally meeting (and falling in love with!) the Lady of the Lake (from Arthurian legend). No cop was going to bother chasing Martin around, since all he was a harmless comic book thief. People had more serious concerns (e.g., Atlantis, Moscow, Wall Street) than stolen kid-tale magazines (e.g., Marvel Comics' Iron Man!). Maybe capitalism was more zany-brainy than people realized.
As the world evolved, Martin decided to host a summer BBQ at his timeshare in upstate New York. His friends joined him, and he prepared burgers, franks, salads, breads, mac-n-cheese, and of course, candy cigarettes. Martin also brought dozens of copies of Superman (DC Comics) and Wonder Woman (DC Comics) comics, comics he stole --- of course! As Martin and his stockbroker friends danced around their grills cooking and eating while drunk on Pina Coladas, Bloody Marys, and Napoleon Brandy, Martin grinned eerily in the evil satisfaction that no one in heaven or hell knew he was a calculating comic book thief --- a true legend!
Aliens from a faraway planet viewed the activities of humans on Earth...with envious eyes. They realized Americans were drunk on Hollywood (USA) films like Supergirl (Helen Slater) and Whore (Theresa Russell). These aliens planned to colonize Earth and turn humanity into a species of cotton-candy producing minions. The aliens were called 'Xenos' (since they didn't understand anything but words that started with the letter 'x'). U.S. President Donald Trump actually loved the Xenos and though they were quite 'financially-shrewd,' but the Xenos cared nothing for 'TrumpUSA' and incinerated the greatest celebrity ever to be elected into politics.
