Customer Reviews
This is one of the strangest, and most random comics I have read in a long time. It throws you into a world that makes almost no sense with a through line held together by a time traveling 10 year old. But to be honest, it is quite an interesting little story, I always enjoy reading a story that I can’t predict, and I never knew what was coming in this one.
