Future Proof #3

by Brian Phillipson

This ongoing, bimonthly time-traveling adventure continues as we experience a day-in-the-life of agents James Rison and Simon Magus while they visit Wall Street during the infamous stock market crash of 1929 and accidentally cause the mass banker suicide. They then travel to 1919, get drunk with Babe Ruth and blackmail the Red Sox owner into trading Ruth to the Yankees. Meanwhile, the mysterious Umbrella Man meets with a young Lee Harvey Oswald. Any wrong move will change the future as we know it!

There's a lot of good moments in this issue. A fair amount of history is jammed in while the "partners in time" (do you see what I did there) continue their mission to "fix" history. They manage to share a fun night with a national hero, and they stumble into becoming the unwitting catalyst for another huge moment in history. It's interesting to see this story intertwine historical fact with conspiracy theory, while also peppering in other story elements in order to maintain a larger overarching plot structure for the series. And the whole time the main characters are dealing with their own inner demons, being snarky, and being generally fun.
