Jason Shiga: Meanwhile (2010)
English language
Published Aug. 27, 2010
On the way home from the ice cream store, little Jimmy discovers a mad scientist’s wonderland: an experimental mind-reading helmet, a time machine, and a doomsday device that can annihilate the human race. Which one would you like to test out first?
Meanwhile is not an ordinary comic. You make the choices that determine how the story unfolds. Meanwhile splits off into thousands of different adventures. Most will end in doom and disaster. Only one path will lead you to happiness and success.
Shiga is one of the most creative minds in comics right now, and has been for years. At first I felt like the book was more of a tech demo than anything else, but as I started unlocking the secrets, I found Shiga’s unique blend of horror and comedy and sci-fi, and was glad I did.
