Originally read this in its webcomic format at work, as we were hunting for local artists to invite to our Comic Arts Fest. Enjoyed it even more in print. Minimal illustrations in a manga-influenced drawing style. I love the full-color art, especially the cover image of the second chapter where Sam is kitted out in their 1880s clothing and Carol is lounging about. I liked the concrete aspect to the time travel, much like the Doctor Who accessories. The slow building of relationships throughout time is also a pleasant aspect that I hope continues as the series moves on.

Read the first three chapters.
