I have been studying the works of mad artist Immelmann. It seems obvious to me that his works in the comic, "At the Heart of it All", was the first major outreach of that wretched spirit named Miranda.

What the wolfrabbit interpreted as Joel must have been Miranda in disguise. She has been poisoning him, slowly over time, driving him mad... The evidence is clear, for every time Joel comes to power in that comic, his form is inky and black.

You must go there to find more clues to this insanity.
