Ivar, Timewalker Volume 1: Making History by Fred Van Lente
2.0
This is one of those books I very much just got because the cover is really pretty (though I feel like that's not a bad thing to do when it comes to buying graphic novels because art is 50% of the story/book) and unfortunately the cover was my favourite thing about it. It looks kinda David Aja-esque so I had to get it, failing to remember at the time that I dislike time travel stories and probably wouldn't like this one either.
It wasn't BAD but it wasn't really for me. There were lots of complicated explanations as to how everything worked and as with most time-travel stories I just wanted to curl up in a ball in the corner of a room and cry. It was cool to try some more Valiant comics because I'm very new to them (any suggestions as to where I should start are welcome) and some of it was interesting. I think the most interesting part was trying to work out who to trust as we're sort of in the same position as Neela with regards to the amount of information we have about the supposed "good" and "bad" guys. I probably won't carry on with the series but it definitely wasn't all bad.
