A Vicious Circle
The genre defining, Eisner Award-nominated epic is now complete. Legendary artist Lee Bermejo (Batman: Damned, Joker) and visionary writer Mattson Tomlin (BRZRKR: Fallen Empire, The Batman Part II) join forces for an exhilarating, mind-bending time travel saga spanning from 22nd century Tokyo to 1950s New Orleans to the Cretaceous Era and beyond.
Shawn Thacker is a trained assassin from the future who seeks revenge on the only other man with his affliction—each life they claim propels them both through drastically different times, spanning the distant past and future.
As their destinies intertwine, these two mortal rivals find themselves locked in a battle of wills that spans millions of years… At stake? The course of history itself.

What are people reading or seeing here? There is nothing to see. It's a story told in flashbacks and single frames telling full stories. 90% of the story is skipped. We sorta get to know who the people are yet there is no personal interaction or developing plot. Rather we are shown flashcard events out of nowhere.
The art is glorious yet with modern AI soon art will get to a high level. You may want to check it out for the art alone. It's merely humans and fights. Nothing overly creative on screen.
The story could work if we stayed in any of the cool worlds for more than a few pages. Post WW2 USA is a great setting. Dino world could be cool. The future world looks amazing. Yet the lead merely kills everyone in his way with single hits and moves on. The energy is nice. But it's comparable to going to a museum to see various paintings by an artist. There is also no ending and no clear plot.
