The Rundown: Ashley tries to survive a world falling apart due to strange time events.
Ashley is a young woman doing her best to live in a world where a series of time incidents have changed the landscape of the world and the city she lives in. As she leaves her destroyed neighborhood to get to work, she finds herself dealing with a job that doesn’t know she exists, a homeless man with a prophetic message about the future and film companies using her neighborhood to make disaster movies.
Things get more intense when the simple act of trying to sell a clock she received from her missing parents sends her down a rabbit hole of unforeseen circumstances until her return home brings her face to face with a real crisis that destroys everything around her as time continues to unravel.
The Story: Camp delivers a solid, intriguing and compelling premise in the first issue of this series. I like seeing the story through the eyes of someone living through it with no apparent impact on events beyond living through them. It offers a unique perspective as it gives the story a day in the life style narrative. I really enjoyed the depiction of Ashley’s monotonous day as things continue to grow and change around her and the story builds to a fantastic cliffhanger that hooked me as a reader.
The Art: I love the art in this issue. There is always something happening throughout the pages and panels and there are entire background sequences that are as compelling as the foreground action. The scenes in the bar with the couple in the booth behind Ashley are fantastic and I had to go over pages again and again to capture everything.
