Over on his blog Paul Rainey writes that he’s just finished plotting out the finale to his most enjoyable series “There’s No Time Like The Present“.

There’s No Time Like The Present – part 10 by Paul Rainey Self Published Part 10 of There’s No Time Like The Present is a difficult sell as a comic. I’m sure Rainey would agree with me here, after all, he stopped putting summaries in a long time ago and his intro to the comic starts with “if [...]

There’s No Time Like The Present # 9 by Paul Rainey Self Published The latest comic in Paul Rainey’s rather excellent study of a group of friends, time travel and the process of ageing is rather a strange thing to review as a single issue.

I’m a big fan of Paul Rainey’s work. Have been for quite some time, especially his epic “There’s No Time Like The Present” series (review here). But Paul also does something called “The Book Of Lists”, a diary strip where events are ordered by category rather than in a linear fashion. When Paul’s got enough [...]
