Would you allow yourself to be sent virtually back in time during your life to see how you deal with stress? Would you live your life exactly as it was or would you try and make it better or fulfill your wildest fantasies or relive them again? Well, that’s what’s happening to Guy Krause, a washed out actor who’s trying to do something until that next job comes around. Of course, there are those people who are doing the experiment and the higher-ups watching them. Add the usual politics and sexual tension and you kind of have this.

I had to read this really close but halfway through things started to catch for me. One thing that helped was that I was told some of what happened in the first issue, plus they did it with the art from the previous book, that I liked. The story was a little scattered at first though. The art had exaggerated features that really didn’t work for me with what was going on, the arms were too long and some of the other things didn’t fit. Also, it was done in black and white, which didn’t add or take away from the story.

Overall, I’m really not sure what to make of this. It’s meant to be funny and there were parts that were. But the story really didn’t flow in the beginning, which I had a problem with. Also, with what was going on, the art didn’t blend to the story. I don’t mind the longer features or rounded shapes but here, it seemed too much. But I would like to see what happens in the next issue, so it did peak my interest enough. I’d say, if you have the opportunity to get the first book, do so, and then get this one; in my humble opinion. I give this 3 caps out of 5.
