Synopsis: As Nadia goes up against her Mother and the city of Arcola, Kevin uncovers the mystery of the person that has been hiding on the outskirts of Arcola. But what does this being have planned for Nadia, Kevin and the robot-less city of Arcola?
The stakes continue to escalate as each of the players in this story descends even deeper into danger. McConville and Shalvey’s ability to play with time through different events as Nadia tries to reason with her mother as they hunt for Kevin to apprehend and destroy him. The pacing of the story and the events that occur as the book’s moving parts continue to grind with no halt. There is no sense of safety and when things seem safe and reassuring, the unexpected happens and you’re left surprised where the story turns next.
Jorge Coelho illustrates this issue and continues to do a fantastic job in making scenes and the actions clear for the reader. Along with the stylistic designs and expressive gesture work, Coelho makes the quiet moments of characters exchanging dialogue visually engaging. Chris O’Halloran accompanies Coelho’s art with solid color work that makes everything visually fitting to the events that occur within the book, and Hassan Otsmane -Elhaou’s lettering is well-placed, and stylistic, keeping the dialogue and story in sync. Time Before Time manages to keep the engine in the tank, and roaring with no halt. This issue is one to pick up for new comic book day.
