Notes:
(1) I'm pretty shocked how much the short stories from the first five issues play into this new arc.
- It's almost as if they're the source material instead of the films.
(2) We get a spin on the films' manure crash scene. Here it's eggs.
- I might be reading too much into it, but this could be a "butthead" vs "chicken" thing, in terms of what antagonists call Marty.

Notes:
(1) This turned out to be a pretty satisfying mystery. All the initial absurdities get explained away quite clear and logically.
- It pays off several "Chekhov's Gun" moments, which I'm always a sucker for.
(2) The main subplot here is that Marty's a time travel/adventure addict.
- Like any junkie, he's desperate to get his fix.
- Naturally, his relationships suffer.

Notes:
(1) From what I understand, the last volume was only meant to be a miniseries, a short-lived commemoration-cum-cash grab, capitalizing on the 2015 date in the second film. I suppose it proved more popular than expected since they kept going as a regular series.
- Rather than fleshing out the films, like the last volume did, this one seems to be a continuation series.
