Time Before Time #1 is a hell of a debut with a lot of detail helping to really make the story. There's a solid concept here and the ending has me guessing as to where this is all going. Since it involves time travel, I have no idea where that might be. This is one to absolutely get so you can sit back and enjoy. Read Full Review
I’m highly intrigued by where Time Before Time goes. This story ends off with a fascinating cliffhanger that is going to drive this story and what time that it ends up in. I think it is about time that you go to your local comic book shop and pick this up today, while there is still time. Okay, enough with the horrible time puns. But, seriously, you should check this book out. Read Full Review

All in all though, Time Before Time is a fun read and the slightly longer than average issue manages to set up an interesting premise that will be familiar to many sci-fi aficionados. It's not quite a must-read, but if you have a gap in your reading lists, this will fill that time travel itch nicely. Read Full Review
Time Before Time is a truly timeless work, sure to appeal to fans of dystopian science-fiction. I don't think it will win over any who aren't already fans of the genre, but this is a solid opening chapter for what promises to be a great graphic novel. Read Full Review
Time Before Time #1 mixes a hardboiled crime story with time travel tropes for a solid debut issue. The ending of the first issue is a whopper of a cliffhanger and promises to build upon an already unique premise. If you enjoy films like GoodFellas or Looper, this is the comic for you.

'Time Before Time' #1 is off to a strong start. The neo-noir time travel crime thriller ends with a bang taking a familiar plot line and upending all expectations. This story could go anywhere moving forward and that's exciting. It also looks properly grimy and sordid thanks to the art team. Issue one does enough to recommend getting on board now.

I dont know. I really like it but, to be honest, Im afraid they are going to ruin what I really like about it with how it ended. This was really cool and just had me engaged the whole way. I watches Looper not too long ago and while not the same at all it has that kind of vibe to it.
The first issue was really good. Characters were engaging and complex. The concept of time travel appealed to me greatly. When there was a jump between distinct historical and future periods, things got much more fascinating.
I liked the book, but the art was kinda bad
