Episode Synopsis
Send us a text"I really thought things were going to be better when we came back here. Maybe the world's just cruel no matter what time you're in, though."Mike and Alex are here to continue their trip through time and space with Image Comics' Time Before Time, this week examining Volumes 3 and 4 (issues #13-17 and #19-23). They guys discuss the introduction of a new character who gets his own two-issue mini-arc and how it meshes (or maybe doesn't) into the main narrative. Then they dive deep into the story, debating what parts are working for them and what parts feel a little extraneous, and try and work through how the "closed loop" presentation of time travel is being utilized and presented in the comic. Finally, they tip a hat to some of the subtle differences in page and panel layout seen in these volumes that come with the addition of guest artists into the series.There's only one trade volume left of the main story, but two trade volumes left of the comic, and we're eager to discuss the how/what/why of it all. So pick up Time Before Time Volumes 5 and 6 (issues #25-29, and #6, #12, #18, and #24) wherever you get your comics and join us next week to finish out the discussion!Thanks for listening to Storied Arcs Find us on your favorite podcast platform and leave a 5-star review!
