BONUS REVIEW by Gavin Rehfeldt
 Off the bat, I would read anything Sean Murphy draws, and his detailed execution of the diverse imagery here is excellent. However, sadly, that's the only element to strongly recommend in Chrononauts #1. There are interesting ideas here, but Millar can come off as smirking and immature sometimes. The characterization of the smugly self-satisfied bros at the center of the series is largely unappealing. I want to follow the story of the background ex-wife. The cynical attitude is further emphasized by the reactions of the public to the momentous occasion taking place on their televisions--some of which are amusing, including an elderly woman holding up a convenience store. There's a point at which sharp sneering wit crosses over to nastiness and that's where Chrononauts currently feels comfortable. Still, you see some fantastic stuff from Murphy, most notably a temple harboring an unusual discovery which symbolizes the potential of this book yet to be realized. I give it 6 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
