I have to tell you that this is a fun book , with witty humor and touches of sensitivity. Who of us would not like to go back in time and have a chance to visit a loved one , or correct a past mistake but what will the the consequences of such actions be ? Time will tell . I like this graphic novel it is the modern equivalent binge watching a whole season without waiting for the next episode of in this case next issue to hit the stands. I give this four out of four stars so check it out if you are looking for something new.

I had the pleasure of attending Wizard World Comic Con in Cleveland, Ohio this past weekend . It was a spectacular experience with live music, amazing guests, and even light saber combat. The pinnacle of my time there was hugging and getting to meet John Barrowman on stage!
