The formerly eerie mystery collapses into a dimension-hopping zombie survival quest and even the art falls back on old tricks.
1997 / Ecomics / 64 pages / Canada/USA

An interesting but trite curio, the brief comics continuity between the film and the TV franchise takes some inspiration from Bill McCay's thoughtful literary sequels, when it's not content to be a kids' dumb action comic.

A distinctive sci-fi comedy rather than the trite parody expected, the universe and arcs build nicely, but the humour's stuck in the orbit of the daily "funnies."
Alan Moore and artists, Alan Moore's Twisted Times

Much stronger and more ambitious outings than the miscellaneous Future Shocks, the brief saga of Abelard Snazz and comically convoluted Time Twisters hint at greatness to come. It's a shame he didn't write more for kids, it makes for a refreshing reprieve from all the rape.
