scans_daily#2'd been a leap forward, to Maxwell Maas's future.
There, he was working to solve a problem.
Before that, in the past, he was a child living with his father.
" Max. You better get yourself ready. We're leaving in an hour. "
Max's response was insistent pedantry.
His dad's response to that was a fist.
Max picked himself up, listening to his dad's frustration.
" Somethin' - somethin' important - it's missing in you. You think you're better, but yer jus' a different kinda broke. "
Max went to his room.
(Max's Overman is wearing a cape and saving a space shuttle, in a pose echoing the cover of Action Comics #27.)
Off they went.
They came eventually to a world of ruins, where one was alive.
That one turned from their work to tell Max and Freddy a story about a " perfect city " whose people had " the idea " one day.
The way they were frustrated Max.
" You're going to stay? Here? Why?! They're gone! Nothing you do- "
" 'They?' "
" If not for them, then - "
" Who else remains? "
Max took the offered flower.
Max went back home, passing through ' the Vice Verse. A universe where thermodynamics runs in reverse. '
(Max gets his alliteration from his mother's side, apparently.)
(Pagecount's 7 and under 9/10ths of 24.
Writing's Deniz Camp, letters're Aditya Bidikar, and art's Vittorio Astone.
This was published by Vault Comics.)

The ideas on display just never feel terribly well connected, so they come off as glorified shower thoughts. I like all of the ideas, but they never come together.
Desperately looking forward to the next issue you post though, I have some things to say about it.
