Time travel, gang warfare, undercover operatives, smuggling. There are ways to take all these elements and reinvigorate them with incredibly original ideas and complicated storytelling techniques. Or you can do what Declan Shalvey has done and just tell a straight-forward, intriguing story using characters with simple but believable motivations.
Also, the use of time travel in this book isn't to change any history, it's smuggling drugs and technology on a very lowkey scale.
If you wish Doctor Who was one very contained storyline that didn't involve aliens and space travel, this might be the book for you. Be warned, in this story the companion kidnaps "The Doctor".

Time travel, crime syndicates, double-crossing, and more. What more could you ask for? Maybe a touch more clarity with character development.

Imagine the film 'Looper' in a comic book. I really enjoyed this. An action-packed comic with time travel, an engaging story, and a clash of rival groups. Can't wait to read the next volume.

This is super great. I love a good time travel tale where all the various pieces fit together like a good… well, timepiece. And this one does. Now I just need a time machine to see how it all turns out.
