Cool to see Die Glocke show up.

I didn't like this issue as much, but that very fact was interesting to me because this issue felt very much like the time period it was showcasing. I was annoyed that the only thing that seemed to be going on was a whole lot of high-tension discussion with no action. But the funny thing is, that's exactly how movies from this same time period play out. If you've ever seen voyage to the bottom of the sea or that Caine Mutiny picture with Humphrey Bogart, it's all serious men, all the time, with gravitas-ridden mic drops all over the place. And so I was annoyed and yet completely captured by this second issue of Future Proof in its ability to create that same flavor. I know this series is supposed to be all flash-pow fancy with time travelers and everything, but I am drawn to the almost invisible suggestions that it makes about the flavor of time.
