Faith and the Future Force #2

   Time travel stories can be very powerful - and very dicey to manage.

   It's at the heart of the story unfolding in Faith and the Future Force,  as a mysterious, seeming indestructible robot threatens to  damage space and time itself, so the time-traveling Neela Timewalker (no Doctor Who references, please) recruits Faith to destroy the mechanism.

   But last issue, that plan didn't exactly work out - so they're going to try again this time around, only with more firepower.

   It's a classic time-travel adventure theme to repeat the same story over and over, with minor changes, trying to find the path to victory, and it's a theme put to good use here as the danger continues to escalate.

   As with all such stories, it doesn't pay to think too hard about the proceedings (lest the whole story unravel), but so far it's building nicely into a big (but self-contained) event - and it's a lot of fun, too!
