…son of a bitch! I ended my review of last issue with the hope that Ivar, Timewalker would stop liberally borrowing from the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who. I claim scrying powers forever more at this point, as the events of the comic resemble those of The Wedding of River Song, if somewhat decompressed.

It all comes down to this! Ivar and his brothers – Gilad, the Eternal Warrior, and Armstrong – have led a suicide mission to rescue Neela Sethi and time itself. Now, as Oblivi-1 grows in power and threatens to destroy the very universe, they’ll make their last, dire, final move to save history. Will they do it? Well, the arc ain’t called “Saving History” now is it?! New York Times best-selling writer Fred Van Lente (ARCHER & ARMSTRONG) and rising star Francis Portela (The Flash) team up to tear down the walls of time!

As arc endings go, #8 of Ivar, Timewalker is a good one...

The Anni-Padda brothers prepare a suicide mission at the end of time with Amelia Earhart, the Lurkers, and the angriest Bloodshot nanite of all time. Meanwhile, Neela Sethi is forced to make a dark decision alongside her future self. It’s the last stand of humanity against the Big Crunch as the penultimate issue of BREAKING HISTORY changes our future forever!

Most of this issue is one big fight scene, interposed with a page or two of plot advancement. For a mid section of a story arc that will read far better when collected, so far, so standard...

With the universe on the brink of destruction, Ivar must turn to his closest relatives – Armstrong and Gilad Anni-Padda – to save Neela Sethi from the machinations of the Prometheans! The problem? These three guys couldn’t be further apart. Time doesn’t heal all wounds as the assault on Oblivi-1 begins!

Fred Van Lente (ARCHER & ARMSTRONG) and Francis Portela (Green Lantern Corps) continue this time-shattering comics event!

It’s interesting that this past week I’ve been reviewing two series, both involving time travel. One is Doctor Who (link to 9th doctor review?),whilst the other almost feels like a tribute...
