Is it possible to let go of your past, or does it continuously follow us into our destined future? This question serves as the core theme in Time Waits #1, the first installment of the new DSTLRY series by writers Chip Zdarsky and David Brothers, featuring artwork by Marcus To with additional contributions from Marvin Sianipar, colorist Matt Wilson, and letterer Ariana Maher. The narrative revolves around Blue, a weary time traveler who is trying to settle down in the present with his wife Grace, whom he met in her hometown. However, as disputes emerge regarding the adoption of Duke, a bright but shy foster child, Blue’s health deteriorates and he experiences flashbacks to his violent past. The tension reaches its peak when agents from his past – or perhaps his future? – employers pay an unwelcome visit, disrupting the tranquility he had worked hard to achieve.
