Small Press Gem
Man Who Effed Up Time #1 – New John Layman series from Vault Comics. Sean Bennett is just your everyday, ordinary lab worker in a high-tech lab with a proto-type time machine.

So, when he meets a version of himself from the future who encourages him to do just that, Sean takes the temporal plunge. Only…can you guess what happens next? Did you read the book title? Yup. All of TIME is f#%&ed up now, and it’s up to Sean to cor-rect it-or else! Presenting a time-twisted sci-fi action-comedy, a butterfly effect noir, by multiple Eis-ner-winning writer John Layman and talented new-comer Karl Mostert. Order it today…before time runs out!
