After a selfless sacrifice that cost a life, Nadia and Kevin are sent back through time, reuniting Nadia with her family. Reunions are made, but are they worth all the trouble and loss? What is it that no one is telling Nadia, and what time she is in?
McConville and Shalvey surprisingly keep this series fresh with each arc. With a series that is focused on time travel, it’s easy to get lost, or for the concept to become stagnant. Thankfully that isn’t the case with this series as it enters its fourth arc, with Nadia as the main focus of the book. In the aftermath of being sent through time, the writers take the time to explore the various kinds of loss that Nadia experiences as she readjusts to seeing her family again. And with great expectations come great disappointments as Nadia tries to grapple with the kind of time she is living in and how much has changed since her adventure began. There is a lot of moving parts that feel purposeful to the story and create a tension that would make a ticking time bomb sweat as things begin to unravel throughout the book.
Jorge Coelho does the art for this issue and it is detailed and fits the kind of visual tone of the series seamlessly. From futuristic landscapes to various kinds of fashions, and character gestures, Coelho’s artwork coupled with Chris O’Halloran’s well-painted color work and Hassan Otsmane-Elhao’s lettering makes this book a standout. The art conveys just as much story as the narration and dialogue, making for a well-crafted comic that is worth picking up for new comic book day.
