Publisher Description
After a time bending adventure, Ollie Finch was set to go home in his uncle’s rocket car time machine when everything went sideways. He’s at the center of a maelstrom of paradoxes that threatens to destroy the multiverse. Fortunately, Ollie’s fellow time traveling friends might just help straighten things out: Teddy, the brain-damaged cyborg assassin; Bax, the soldier from the post-apocalyptic future sent to stop Teddy's mission; Preston, the 19th-century inventor; Curtis, self-proclaimed Time Master; and Roxy, Ollie’s scorned ex-girlfriend. Can this band of losers stop Phil, the world-conquering artificial intelligence… in time?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ollie Finch is a teen who jumps through various timelines in an attempt to stop a threat that's never particularly clear. It's reasonable to expect the early pages of a madcap time travel caper like this to feel disjointed, but the confusion starts at page one and never really ends. Stories that introduce alternate time streams or parallel universes need solid internal logic. But debut writer Keller never establishes the rules governing his strange worlds, nor is it ever clear what the oversized cast of characters want at any given moment, or even what the stakes are. For instance, midway through an episode, a soldier on a postapocalyptic mission to save someone named Mike Hawk decides he needs to kill him instead. Why? Who knows. It's a shame that the storyline is so undercooked, because the book does have an irreverent, tongue-in-cheek humor, and the art by McDaid (Judge Dredd) is a lot of fun and perfectly suited for this type of material.
