This senses-shattering issue gets to the BIG WHY! WHY did the Rocketfellers leave the 25th century behind? WHY did Raina betray her family and hunt them down? WHY did Rex the dog cross the road? To get to the other “Time”!

    The future, the explosions, the science, the colors… there is so much to rave about in this issue. The art is absolutely perfectly detailed and gorgeous throughout. It also gets a bit creepy at times. Read Full Review

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff Oct 1, 2025

    The series has a chance to really make an impact as it continues to move forward, but Tomasi and company are really going to have to work at making it all feel original enough to make an impact. As it is right now, the series has enough going for it that it really COULD developi into something compelling. All of the right elements are there. Its just a matter of Tomasi and company extending the storylines just a little bit. The ensemble seems interesting enough to find its own voice. Its just going to take a few more issues to really develop that voice. Read Full Review

    Plot
    Roland argues with Jacob and Raina in the future. The argument is because Roland doesn't want to continue researching the creation of bio-organic nanotechnology, and Jacob is forcing him to do so because it's the only way to cure his cancer. Suddenly, they are attacked by drones; everything explodes, and Roland survives, but his sister Raina and Jacob are seriously injured.

    Roland uses his technology to stabilize them both and keeps Raina's eye to recreate her tissues, but with Jacob, he has to fully immerse himself in Cronex's bio-organic technology.

    Jacob wakes up and threatens Roland, saying he will force him to cure him and that he will kidnap his family. It is then that Roland and Rachel search for ever more
