The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of AA SQUAD #1 from Rob Wolinsky. Rob Wolinsky writes, Chunlin Zhao draws and colors,
and Jamie Me letters.
Liam is a very serious time correction officer who has just
been assigned to the “double A” squad. This squad is clearly more laid back
than the A Squad, but their next mission arrives immediately – back to 1895 to
clear up a small disturbance in the stream. A quick in and out, fix the first
film screening in history, no big deal. But something is off in a subtle yet
rather obvious way.
The setting for this story is a modern-ish day world with at
least limited time travel. Assemble a team of brave souls, monitor the
timestream for anomalous behavior, and send the team in to investigate and/or
repair the situation. These are likeable characters, too, even if they’re a
little unconventional (though convention has yet to be established here). And
there are a couple of teaser panels throughout (and the ad page is a hoot)
adding more depth to the story, as does the very careful, friendly artwork.
AA Squad is an independent comic, and it’s a great example
of one. It looks great, it blends comedy and drama well, and it begins a cool
story in a setting that could easily go on forever (there’s a time joke in
there somewhere). It’s definitely worth checking out.
