BOOKLIST -- While traveling through time, Ollie accidentally starts
a chain of events that threatens to unravel all of existence. Now
his team of time travelers, composed of his jaded ex-girlfriend, a
killer robot with the mentality of a toddler, and a twisted
nineteenth-century inventor, have to undo the complex series of
paradoxes they have set into motion. Time Share moves ridiculously
fast, and there's little exposition along the way, so occasionally
it's tough to keep up and understand what's going on. That said,
the pace of the piece is made up for with the plethora of crazy
settings and hilarious characters, which are easily the book's
greatest strengths. This is genuinely funny stuff, packed with
allusions and spoofs of nearly every sf staple, while clever
one-liners and lewd jokes fill every page. Much like the action,
the humor never lets up for a second. McDaid's dated character
design and faded color imbues the work with a nostalgic, Silver Age
comics vibe. A crazy ride, but one definitely worth taking.
