Lettered by Tom NapolitanoFrom New York Times-bestselling creators Scott Snyder and Jamal Igle comes this rollicking sci-fi adventure story about a boy, his dog, and a machine that controls time and space! What could go wrong? Have you ever wondered why all the great figures in history had a pet companion, and if they were all running from the same mysterious threat? Such questions have never crossed the mind of Dudley Datson, a fifteen year-old with a penchant for invention. But when dastardly foes turn his world upside down, Dudley is going to have to start facing things beyond his wildest imagination in this modern day fable.
Thanks to Dark Horse Comics for the cover, and be sure to pre-order a copy before the final order cutoff next month. The copies with Chang’s artwork will retail at 56 pages for $5.99, $1 more than the regular edition with Igle’s cover art. The series’ print release will run for three issues, with the trade paperback collecting the whole series (which will retail for $17.99) set to bow in bookstores on October 22, and comic book stores the following day.
