In this edition of Reading through Comics, Alphabetically, I’m excited to share a series special I not only love for the content, but the variant covers as well: Chrononauts by Mark Millar & Sean Gordon Murphy (Image). First, a brief summary of the content:
Corbin Quinn and Danny Reilly are two great friends who just also happen to be scientific geniuses. Granted the opportunity to travel through time, they often find themselves using the technology for fun and pleasure, rather than just scientific exploration. Their journeys are televised, viewed by the watchful eye of science. If you had the means to travel through time and space, could you resist?
Sounds fun, right? It truly is! Though a short four-issue series, this one is packed with fun, humor, and some pretty awesome variant covers:
Though this series had a short run, it packs enough into the four issues to captivate and generate a new following of fans. I’m thrilled that I discovered this series by happenstance; it’s no surprise that Mark Millar (writer) and Sean Gordon Murphy (artist) have several successful and well-known series under their belts. Mark Millar is also responsible for titles I enjoy like Jupiter’s Circle and Jupiter’s Legacy. Sean Gordon Murphy’s art can be seen in several of my other favorite series, like Descender, Wytches and Mythic.
All in all, this is a perfect short series to add to your comic collection. Guaranteed to captivate you, leaving you cheering one moment, laughing the next. A must read!
