The Rundown: A man deals with living through events of his life he cannot remember being a part of until it’s too late.
Young Mike wakes up one morning as a kid in high school and then realizes that he has slept through his own college graduation. As the he finally gets out of bed, he flies through moments of his life until he gets to a job he doesn’t remember applying for doing something he cannot remember. Things only get stranger as he lives with a series of roommates he cannot remember until he ultimately gets married to a woman he only remembers going on a first date with.
As his life continues to move forward without his direct intervention, Mike loses it all through actions he cannot remember. As his life continues to spiral out of control, each moment reminds him that time flies and he has no control over what happens within it.
The Story: Camp creates a tense, thoughtful and darkly engaging story in this issue. Camp chooses something simple and innocuous in the premise and turns it into a dark, tragic and emotional journey for the character and the reader. I continue to be impressed and intrigued by the world Camp is creating in this series and how many different twists and turns it takes as it brings me on a strange, compelling Twilight Zone style journey.
The Art: Zawadzki creates some beautiful art throughout the issue. I love the visual flair of the story and how Bellaire utilizes color throughout the issue.
