There’s also a strong emotional subplot for Ben – if he somehow succeeds, that means that the world he knows will never exist. Maybe he won’t exist in the new world. Maybe his girlfriend, Floria, won’t exist. And even if she does, there’s no reason to believe they would ever meet. If Ben makes the past better, he loses literally everything he knows.
Jonathan W.C. Mills, the writer of Heavy Water, previously directed a documentary about the OC punk scene and it looks like he has some scripts in development. I can’t find any previous comic work from him, but he’s really got a handle on the medium and I hope to see his name again. I love the art by Alberto Muriel – he draws such great faces, and there’s some really lovely design work.
