What happens when you combine the legendary drummer from Rush and the guy who wrote, like, every “Star Wars” extended universe novel I read when I was a kid? You get the comic book adaptation of “Clockwork Angels,” Rush’s 19th album. (There’s also a novel of it out there.)
Telling the story of a young man lost in a steampunk world where the Watchmaker forces everything to be precise and on time, the second issue finds our hero Owen Hardy in Crown City clashing against The Anarchist, which you Rush fans may recognize from his eponymous song”. They tried to get him, but they’ll never forget him!
