One of the main lessons I’ve learned watching sci-fi and reading comics is, never mess with the space/time continuum. Well, that’s what The Traveler does. But he tries to set it right. In the latest offering, he ends up teaming with Soldier Zero to keep the earth from being ripped apart with different times. Some places have time slowing down; other places time is speeding up. Not to mention, Soldier Zero and Traveler don’t get off on the right foot with each other. Oh, did I mention the fact that one of Traveler’s big time villains is offering to help. All I can say is: have you ever had one of those days?

This was an interesting read. The art is solid and truly brings the story out. It doesn’t dominate the story or hinder it from being told. Reading the story, the paneling flowed. It was more advanced than the basic square here and there. The story flowed with this and added to what was being said. Now, we get to the writing. Almost all of the writing was spot-on. But I found a few typos. It just bugs me when I see them in print, so I point them out. But other than that, I liked the story and what it was saying.

As I just said (sorry for the redundancy), I liked this team up and story. You have the hero who is more into doing things with force and the other who changes time to get what he needs done. They blend very well and I look forward to Boom putting them together a little more often. If you’re a fan of either or both of the characters, this book is definitely for you. In my humble opinion, get this one and you’ll want to get the one before it. I give this 3.5 caps out of 5 (the typo brought it down).
