When we start to end our Spidersilk journey we find out that Mark's foe, Chris, has actually been in a coma in his original dimension while the story has played out. Once defeated by Mark, Chris actually flatlines and then regains consciousness in his own dimension. Victims of a coma have had many struggles throughout time because many are seen as brain dead and are usually believed to be gone for good. Recent technology has discovered that many people who are in a coma are actually very much conscious in other areas of the brain. Recently new scans have been developed that have brought coma victims who were believed to be unconscious for over 20 years back to life in a way. These scans have allow many to communicate with loved ones even though their body is unable to do so. With Chris, his coma actually took him to Mark's dimension, which is an amazing idea in itself. There have actually been many people who have woken up with the belief that they traveled elsewhere while they were seemingly unconscious to the world. This form of astral projection or dreaming might bring more to light in the future about what happens with the brain when a coma occurs and if people are actually able to visit other realms while they seem to be checked out of this one.
