Reviews

"Romance comics meet Quantum Leap in this quirky odyssey through time, space, and the heart... King energizes the familiar romance genre with twists and turns that fuse each of Joan's trysts into an intricate puzzle... Charretier's thick-line cartoony character design, reminiscent of Darwyn Cooke, perfectly depicts this genre crossover, and Matt Hollingsworth's colors capture the eeriness, avoiding primary colors with suitably subdued secondary palettes for each chapter. This series launch piles on the thrills and leaves tantalizing questions open. Readers will be eager to see the next volume." -Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Feels like an homage and a slight twist to the romance comic genre...it all feels updated and fits modern comics." -Graphic Policy

"Strong writing, impeccable art, and a style of storytelling that is wholly original." -AIPT

"King (Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow) and Charretier's (Department of Truth, Vol. 3) gripping mystery subverts the romance-comic genre but still delivers genuine romantic melodrama. An uncommonly compelling first volume." -Library Journal (starred review)

"a smart, terrifying upending of the romance genre. It reels you into a world that feels comfortable and familiar, before pulling the rug out from under you." -Monkeys Fighting Robots

"Elsa and Tom are two of the very most talented creators giving their energy to sequential art, seeing them reinvent the romance genre is bold, inspiring, and a total must read." -Rick Remender, Deadly Class, The Scumbag
