Matrix Comics

Did anyone know there are a host of Matrix comics available on the official website that can be read online in their entirety? It is great, because they offer some insight into the beginnings of Zion, etc. I have only read one so far, but it was very interesting. It is labelled, 'The Miller's Story' and it explains how the first inhabitants of Zion went up to the earth's surface to steal wheat seeds so that they could grow grain for making bread. Take a peek when you get the chance too at whatisthematrix.com

I have passed throught the Matrix web site before, I especially enjoyed the long essays and theories on the subject, but I will also need to check out the comics too - thanks for pointing that out.

I've never really took on the comics version of the Matrix trilogy but I'm interested to know if it provides any further insight into what the Matrix is about?
