review:

In the trade paperback Comeback, time travel is possible through a company called Reconnect. They offer the wealthy a second chance by travelling into the near past to rescue people from certain death. The near past and present seem to be a limitation, or maybe Reconnect is concerned with creating time paradoxes.



Matt and Seth are two agents of Reconnect who travel back, rescue victims, and place cadavers in place of the victims. When the FBI starts investigating, the 2 agents find themselves trapped in the past and hunted by the FBI and employees of Reconnect who may have some dirty secrets to hide. It seems that Reconnect has blood on their hands and will do anything to keep their secrets hidden.



The art style is a rougher look, and I liked it, but I did keep confusing 2 key characters because of the style. They look somewhat similar and the book introduces past and future versions of some of the characters. The graphic novel includes lots of extras like alternate covers, and much of the steps in the process of creating a graphic novel. Also included are the elevator pitch for the book, which I found interesting as a summary. It's a well-written, gritty noir story with plenty of the usual head-scratching that time travel stories put me through.
