Comments: Bram Stoker is a serious man while H.G. Wells is more wild and carefree. This story takes place before each became famous and before they each wrote their most famous book. Here though they do get to work together.
The art looks amazing and it captures the time period wonderfully. The look to the people and the settings fit so well.
Stoker and Wells meet the inventor of the actual time machine. Stoker and Wells end up four thousand years in the future. The future is not all they might want. It is an adventure of a lifetime though as these two literary men explore it. There are much more than just Morlocks in this future. All the people and creatures are so wonderfully illustrated to bring across the feeling that you are seeing the future.
There are places and names that you will vague recognize from these two writers’ most famous books. This future they find themselves in does provide an exciting time with many dangers. There is even an epic battle involving all. Is it Stoker and Wells who save the day well not exactly.
The crossover with real people and literary creations combine into something special here.
