A personal ode to H.G. Wells' The Time Machine and California. What would you do if you found the original blueprints for H.G. Wells' time machine? Fact check his trip of course! And on the way, check out what the world is like in the near (and distant) future and with the knowledge hopefully do something to save our planet. Sci-fi lite x post-Trump politics x climate prophesy. The illustrations are simple but evocative, I like the style a lot. The pacing could be fine-tuned some. Overall, a gentle fable.

Thank you Carol Lay, Netgalley, & Fantagraphics Books for this free ARC in exchange for a review.

A serviceable graphic novel for those who enjoy time travel science fiction. Nothing incredibly new here, but worth a read.
