Blink And You’ll Miss It #1 was a great start to this comic series of five by Ethan S. Parker, Griffin Sheridan, and Keith Browning. I chose it as an impulse read, drawn in by the cover art, and it did not disappoint. There was so much going on in the dreary and trapped in time town of Perennial Harbor. This dark and quickly paced sci-fi tale is steeped in time travel, dystopian fantasy, grief, love, psychological horror, and so much more. While this isn’t a typical genre for me, after reading it in just a couple of hours, I will definitely continue reading the series. I could also see it making a very interesting watch if adapted for tv.
Thanks to the authors and illustrator, publisher, and NetGalley for this ARC!

My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this early review copy.
I downloaded this comic on a lark, just looking for something to read before dinner. And ... wow!
This opens with a somewhat futuristic yet crumbling church against a brilliant fuchsia sky, reminiscent of the dystopian issues from Grendel, but with vehicles on the street from maybe the 50s. I was immediately invested. The first issue ends with a KAPOW cliffhanger, and I was really glad I was reading the collected volume so I could just keep going. The second issue leaves you with more questions than answers, including the memorable: "What do I say? What the fuck would anyone possibly say to that?" Indeed.
Some things are explained, but that just leaves A LOT of questions. I raced through this in (yes) the blink of an eye.
The art from Keith Browning is crisp and easy to follow. The creatures (whatever they are) are impressively vague yet detailed.
The summary says "a new mind-bending tale begins" so I expect more of this. I'm here for it.

Blink and You’ll Miss It #1 – 5/5 ⭐️
by Ethan S. Parker, Griffin Sheridan, and Keith Browning
An amazing start to a series that promises emotional depth, genre-bending thrills, and visual storytelling that lingers long after the final panel. Parker and Sheridan (of Hello Darkness and Kill Your Darlings) craft a haunting mystery rooted in memory and love, while Keith Browning’s debut artwork pulses with atmosphere and quiet dread.
Set in the eerie town of Perennial Harbor—where time doesn’t just heal wounds, it reopens them—issue #1 introduces Melody and Jesse, two former lovers pulled into a spiraling reality where the past refuses to stay buried. As Melody slips further into memory, the story blurs sci-fi, romance, and psychological horror with stunning precision.
I’m hooked. The emotional stakes are high, the pacing is tight, and the visuals are unforgettable. Can’t wait for issue #2.
Happy reading from the Void 📚

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
This was a fast-paced, visually striking read that I flew through in one sitting without even realizing how quickly the pages were turning. The artwork is fantastic and really carries the story. From the eye-catching cover to the small details throughout, the art pulls you in and keeps your attention the entire time. It creates a sense of momentum that perfectly matches the speed of the story. Everything feels like it’s constantly moving, almost slipping through your fingers as you read.
That said, this book definitely left me with questions. The story was a bit confusing at times, and because everything moves so quickly, some moments felt rushed, especially the ending. There were ideas I wanted more time with, and a few unanswered questions that lingered after I finished.
If you love graphic novels with great artwork and a hint of horror, this one is worth picking up.
Thank you to NetGalley and BOOM! Studios for the ARC.

— all opinions are my own, and i thank netgalley and the author for providing me with an e-ARC for review.
so fun! this was an eerie, creepy read — it begins set in a small town that looks and feels suck in time in all the wrong ways, until the illusion breaks and we're thrown head-first into such an exciting, gripping plot. the art was beautiful (i especially loved all the dripping panels), and the take this had on time travel to give it a more horror-centered scope was very unique. i also enjoyed the pacing and the effect it had on mirroring the characters' own fear and confusion as the story progressed, and i thought the ending set the stage perfectly towards the next volume.
overall, i really enjoyed this! i thought it a great introduction to a graphic novel series, and i'm looking forward to continuing the story!

What an accurate name for this graphic novel. Maybe I blinked and missed the point.
I really wanted to like this, but I felt it jumped around far too much, which left me confused and not fully understanding the premise. I am sure many people will read this and enjoy it, but for me the story did not feel fully formed. The characters needed more development, and this easily could have spanned multiple books, making for a stronger and more successful story overall.
I do understand why it jumped around due to the storyline, and I know the reader is meant to feel pulled from point to point. Unfortunately, it just was not for me and left me feeling very confused and honestly a little disappointed.
Sadly, I can only give this one 2 stars.

Thank you to Netgalley and Boom studios for a digital arc of this graphic novel in exchange for my review!
I really enjoyed this start to the series. I was invested in the relationship between the two main characters and I really enjoyed how everything was revealed a little at a time. That being said, I am still left with many questions that I hope will be revealed later in the series. I would have liked the story to be a bit more stretched out, it was very quick paces and condensed and I would really love to sit in it a while longer and to flesh out everything. As I was enjoying the story, I just wish there was more to it! I think it was really intriguing and would have loved a bit more world building and character complexity.

4,5⭐
Blink and You’ll Miss It is set in a religious, conservative town where everything is expected to stay the same, and anyone who breaks the mould is seen as a threat, except it’s told through a science fiction lens. The story follows Mel, who has lived her entire life in Perennial Harbour. As she begins to regret the life she’s built, she starts falling backwards through time.
I loved the meaning behind this graphic novel, especially the way it explores how being queer in a conservative town can shape a person, and the lasting impact that environment can have over time.
The artwork is absolutely stunning. It has a dreary, muted atmosphere that fits the story perfectly.
I also really enjoyed the narration.

I received this as an e-arc on NetGalley. Thank you to BOOM! Studios for the copy.
The cover of this one caught me eye immediately, and the artwork throughout definitely lived up to my expectations. I really loved the concepts and the surrealism of the graphic novel, and just how key the art was to the story. My one complaint is that I think the novel could've have given more clarity (especially to better set up the climax and ending of the story) for better emotional investment, while still not sacrificing the mind bending aspects of the story. I'll definitely be checking out Ethan S. Parker's other graphic novels!

I’m on the fence with this one. To start with, the art is good, the colors are soft against the stark blackness of monsters and shadows and the dripping effect was really well done. But … I think (for me) this is just too short a comic to really show the story. There’s some quick exposition to explain scenes that didn’t need it, but also exposition to fill in the plot beats which might have been more effective and more unsettling if they simply … hadn't been there.
The idea is fun, and the milkshake sounds delicious, but overall the comic didn’t quite hit for me the way I wanted it to. Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for the ARC.

I had fun with this comic, the art is visually striking and really keeps you engaged. It also feeds into the surreal and constantly shifting feeling of the narrative. I was constantly confused, but right alongside the characters, which I appreciate in this sort of story. I would have appreciated more time with Melody’s past, but I understand how the segmented nature of her memory contributes to the vibe of the story. I adored the little dinosaur and will certainly enjoy seeing where this story goes next (particularly with that ending!)
My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this early review copy.

Some weird things are happening in the town of Perennial Harbor. Melody and Jesse fell in love as teenagers and decades went by until they were reunited again. Melody keeps finding herself slip back in time and vividly reliving old memories. Something in Perennial Harbor is causing this break in reality.
This was a fun, sci-fi romance graphic novel with a psychological twist. I had to go back and re-read certain parts, but it made the story interesting. I wish the story explored the cult and those beings a little more. I wanted to know where they came from, but I loved the story between Melody and Jesse. The artwork was lovely.

Thank you netgalley for this graphic novel the cover really caught me eye so i decided to give it a go.. I will say at times the story confused me because i dont really read alot of stories like this but i still wanted to know what happened regarding the town and seeing the story between our main characters. This novel had a little bit of romance and i really enjoyed the cool artwork regarding the stuff going on in the town and all the color and detail in the artwork as well. Quick read and a nice graphic novel to dive into.
Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
I saw someone else say something like this, but it's true. The title is super accurate because I feel like my attention drifted for a second, and I had no idea what was going on. The beginning was great and I was really hooked into the premise, but it got wildly confusing after that. I think the problem is that it was super rushed. I like a short graphic novel, but this should be like twice as long to feel less like a montage of cool looking moments. I liked the concept and the art was really good, so I did enjoy it overall. I would just like to see this expanded on quite a bit.

Thank you BOOM! Studios for the ARC of Blink and You’ll Miss It! I really enjoyed this unique graphic novel and the concepts included in it (aliens! Constantly drifting to different parts in your past! A closed off cult town!) the artwork was beautiful and captured the story well. I would love to continue reading and find out what happens where this leaves off. Definitely recommend to other graphic novel and sci-fi lovers.

The art is beautifully done. I like the idea behind the story but wasn't fully soled on the execution. It felt a bit rushed to me. You don't really get to know the characters that well, it stays kind off surface level. Due to the jumps in the story it feels kind of patched together and you can't really get into it.
The overall feel of the story is good tho, it leaves you feeling uneasy and questioning pretty much everything

Amazing read!!! At first it was a bit confusing and so many questions about the storyline. The church, the time travelling, the monsters. Towards the end i finally understood the storyline and it was sooooo good!!! I felt so satisfied reading the ending. Great storyline. Great artworks. Love this!!!

Honestly the title might as well be reflecting on me feeling very confused about this graphic novel. I just felt they didn’t give enough time for character development among our characters here. I just felt the realtionship was too quick and the ending was a downer…

A graphic novel is the perfect way to tell this story. The fractures in the art show us how disconnected Melody feels from her life as we travel through time with her. It's a story I had to go back and immediately re-read for all the events to fall together in my mind, but the storyline and characterizations of Jesse and Melody kept me engaged on each read. Even with the supernatural, there are a lot of relatable themes, like feeling frozen in time in a hometown you've outgrown, feeling forced to step into a role your family chose for you that never quite fit.
Thanks to BOOM! and NetGalley for the e-ARC. All opinions are my own.

4.5⭐️ thank you to Netgalley for the ARC. this is trippy, weird, and wholly original time travel madness. I really enjoyed the central relationship. The art is really interesting and there were plenty of fun hints and details scattered throughout that tie to the larger mysteries in Perennial Harbor. Can’t wait to read this one over and over and over…

A terrific first issue. Wonderful visuals, and again, writing that really pulls me in to wanting to know what’s next. So many questions. But in Sheridan fashion, this is sure to be a mind bending psychological horror thriller and I’m strapped in!
Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Decent story and illustrations. Good read but felt it’s needed more context for me to be emotionally invested.

That was…. Weird… 😅 not really 100% sure exactly what I read there. I personally didn’t much care for the art style, but the use of color was amazing!!
