The Time Traveler's Guide to Dating

This originally appeared at The Irresponsible Reader as part of a quick takes post to catch up–emphasizing pithiness, not thoroughness.

I saw an advertisement for this on Instagram last weekendsomething about a Time Travel Rom-Com in six free issues. I decided it was worth a shot.

This is the story of an assistant manager at a “big box” store, angry and resentful over being denied a promotion (a series of them, I think). He sets out to exact his revenge by (the reader can see) future versions of himself.

So far, I've read the first issueit's a clever story, I like the art. I really don't like the protagonist, but have hope he can be redeemed (or another major character emerges to get behind). But for the moment he's an impetuous, selfish fool, and I'm sort of rooting against him.

I'm not going to check back in on this until I finish the series, but I'm looking forward to the rest of it.
