If there’s one thing the millions of time travel stories over the many decades has taught us, it’s that time travel is always a good idea and things never go wrong. Right? Oh�
Mark Millar’s latest movie storyboard, Chrononauts, shows us what happens when two “rockstar scientists� decide to time travel - namely, bad stuff. Sean Murphy is along for the ride as the latest artist who wants to get movie money so happily hitches his wagon to Millar’s. And that’s basically it. Chrononauts #1 is a very simplistic, uninteresting comic with a nothing premise at its shallow core.
First of all, I’m not sure why anyone wouldn’t mention that maybe time travel isn’t a good idea especially as - that tired cliche of cliches - changing the past might affect the present. That’s kind of a big concern and more than a bit reckless isn’t it? It’s also never worked out for anyone before so why would it go well here? Oh, because, as one of our “rockstar scientists� says, they don’t “do mistakes�. Well, that’s cool then. But mistakes do happen so� I guess they’re idiots.
Which is the biggest problem with Chrononauts: the douchebag main characters, Corbin Quinn and Danny Reilly. Isn’t the “rockstar scientist� crap played out and corny at this point? Image seem to really love this archetype. We’ve got Nowhere Men, Black Science (which has basically the same story as Chrononauts), and now this. It’s like Image wants you to think “science is cool, kids!� which sounds pretty naff. You know who’s a cool scientist? Neil DeGrasse Tyson - and he is nothing like this pair of meatheads.
Because, while the label is stupid, what’s worse is the characters� obnoxious personalities. Corbin and Danny drive cool motorbikes and cars, because that’s what “rockstar scientists� do! They fistbump because they’re bros, yo! Danny flexes in front of cameras at press conferences because he works out so he’s got to show off and - gasp! - did he just put his feet up on the desk? What a rebel!! Later on he’s wrestling a groupie onto the floor in front of the cameras - because he’s a “rockstar scientist�! - while idly boasting about all the co-eds they’re going to bang once this time travel experiment goes well and they hit the lecture circuit! Yeah, brah!
Not only are these the most laughable, unconvincing “scientist� characters ever created, they are complete scumbags you would not tire of seeing hit in the face repeatedly with a shovel. Because the concept is so unoriginal, Millar must be aiming to make the reader root for this pair instead except he completely fails. I’m not at all bothered whether these two jocks live or die somewhere in the past - in fact, I’d prefer them to die. There’s nothing here to enjoy: the story is boring and the characters are written as awful cartoons that are impossible to like.
Murphy’s art isn’t bad but his equipment designs are a bit unimaginative. The time travel portal looks like the stargate from Stargate while the time travel drone looks like Sputnik from real life, and the main characters look like every other male character he’s ever drawn. That said, a couple of panels did make me chuckle like when Danny points his fingers at the camera and a priest, watching it on TV elsewhere, points his fingers back, mimicking the raffish expression, and when an old lady is holding up a convenience store, pointing a gun at a teenager. Very small positives though.
Chrononauts #1 is your bog-standard time travel story with horrible main characters and a pathetic attempt at a love story to make it seem like one of them has a reason for returning - we’re talking Michael Bay-esque skill level here in setting that doozy up. This is dreadful stuff. I’d definitely give this comic a miss and then avoid the equally terrible film version that’ll probably appear in theatres two or three years down the line.

Holy crap. This story sunk like the Titanic. I don't think I've read a creator-owned book by two accomplished creators that has been this uninspired and insipid.
I think a lot of us comicbook readers like to hide behind the whole "main stream sucks, creator-owned indie stuff rocks". This blows that whole facade to the ground. This is a by-the-numbers "who wants to buy the movie license?" pay cheque not a work of art. This is the death of indie comics (although Miller by himself is a pillar of the comics industry due to the hundreds of millions of dollars his movies bring in). We just need to expand our vocabularies a bit now.

This story annoys me almost on every level. It's as if Millar set out to have the most cocky scientists possible who ignore all the rules. Which is fine, of course, but . . . mmphs. They not only ignore "the rules", they ignore common sense.
Sending a satellite back in time to watch history unfold? Neat idea. But, um. It's kind of big. And sent back to a time when people stared up at the skies. It's not cloaked or anything, it's just sitting there above the battle of Gettysburg. Is Millar going to link in Jules Verne and the others of the time who pictured men traveling to the moon and the like? Saying it's Millar's scientists who inspired them? Maybe. I get the sense that Millar just forget that aspect.
Then again, he is self aware enough to have one of his scientists answer the obvious question of "what happens if something changes because humans go back?" with "we don't make mistakes." His scientists are morons. Everyone makes mistakes. Actually, the question itself annoys me. Because the reporter asked what I paraphrased above, but it was more "now that humans are going back in time . . ." completely ignoring that sending "stuff" like satellite's back in time that hover in space, degrade, and fall to earth kind of have an impact on the past. Which is ignored.
Oh, and finding an F-14 in a 6,000 year old temple, an F-14 that may or may not be the one missing from the 1970s is 1) a sign time travel can work, 2) not a sign that time travel should be studied. If you are finding a lot of stuff in the news about "recent past stuff" popping up in digs of ancient civilizations, then that's a big sign that stuff isn't working right. There should be no bloody evidence. No footprint left.
What the bloody hell is the idea behind the first test of sending humans back in time, is to send them to 1492 to meet Columbus? Um. Have the first test involve the human going back to, say, last Tuesday. M'okay?
Then when one idiot time travellor goes off course, a second one leaps into the system to "rescue him", without taking any consideration to disease, contamination, etc. Just "I'm going to leap into this machine now in my skin tight orange jumpsuit and be back in a jiffy". mmphs.
The set-up was annoying. The idea is interesting. But the set up makes me want to kick Millar in the balls.

What frustrates me the most about Chrononauts is Mark Millar is clearly capable of complicated plots, but this is just one big cashgrab. I actually like the overconfident main characters, and the premise is interesting enough, but what follows is just a by-the-numbers time travel story I would expect from a high school English class. The art is okay, but it's not good enough to make me want to read the rest of the series.

Beautiful art. Lame and shallow plot. Feels extremely rushed.

Les auteurs tenaient quelque chose de vraiment merveilleux. En lisant le résumé, le sujet a immédiatement attiré mon attention. Je ne pouvais être que conquise en apprenant que ce comics traitait de deux amis voyageant ensemble dans le passé. Deux amis qui, dit en passant, s'aiment à l'infini et même au delà! Danny ferait tout pour Corbin ; pour le voir sourire, pour le voir heureux, pour le protéger, pour l'amuser, pour l'aider. Et inversement. Ils sont tous les deux inséparables, ils se connaissent par cœur et leur relation est tellement simple.
Seulement, je suis déçue. Ils auraient pu me rendre très fan mais je trouve l'histoire bâclée, l'humour un peu dérangeant et tout très rapide. De plus, j'aurais aimé voir s'approfondir certaines choses. Par exemple, je trouve très bien le fait que les événements historiques soient filmés en direct et retranscris au public moderne. C'est tellement important parce qu'il n'y a plus aucune place aux mensonges, aux falsifications ou tout simplement aux données qui sont romancées volontairement ou involontairement par les historiens, les médias ou par ceux qui ne veulent simplement pas tâcher certains faits. Ils voient ce qu'il se passe réellement et le peu de scènes qui montre ça, nous dévoile des hommes et des femmes qui sont captivés par cette possibilité et par la chance qu'ils ont de pouvoir assister à cette immense avancée technologique, culturelle, scientifique et historique! J'aurais aimé qu'ils appuient sur ça et qu'ils fassent des choses peut-être plus sérieuses que les délires dans lesquels ils sont partis et qui m'ont, la plupart du temps, assez gêné. Toutefois, je lirai certainement la suite parce que je suis curieuse.

This was a fun start. A 1970s jet fighter is discovered on pillars in a place of ancient worship just unearthed in Turkey and it's just the kind of thing Dr. Corbin Quinn believes supports his theory that time travel is possible. Which is why he's on a NASA team building a time machine, satellite in the initial test. He brings Dr. Danny Reilly on board to help build a smaller, more discreet method of time travel.
We get a time jump from that first satellite's successful and televised journey back in time to the Civil War to 18 months later when the Chrononauts have built their streamlined time traveling device. A single panel showing a press conference discussing their progress and intent to complete a manned mission back to 1492 gives us a delightful peek at some of the rejected prototypes - a DeLorean, the classic H.G. Wells Time Machine and Bill & Ted's phone booth. This panel is the one that told me that I will love this series. It knows the genre and crowd that it is written for, pays homage to beloved figures in that genre and is just running with this idea.
We get a hint at Corbin's emotional backstory, which I'm sure will be built on in the series, and Danny's bro personality that gets a thumbs up from a random priest surrounded by shocked nuns watching the televised lead up to the actual manned mission. Then we get Corbin going through the time warp with everyone expecting it to go as smoothly as the satellite mission to 1863 did. Spoiler: It does not. And Danny gets real serious, real fast when faced with the potential chaos of Corbin lost in the wrong place, wrong time.
Love the concept. The story sets off on a quick pace, which fits with the 4 issue run for this mini-series. Characters seem enjoyable and likable. Art is decent, but a little darkly shaded in places for my liking. Overall, great 5 star start.

I am a little bit torn with this one, because it was all at once interesting and uninteresting.
Interesting: 1. The whole plot about going back in time and seeing history unfold. 2. There was artwork sprinkled throughout showing how people were reacting (both in funny ways [i.e. the old lady trying to hold up the convenience store and getting distracted] and important ways [i.e. the black family reacting to a civil war battle]). 3. There was also some dialogue about relationships and commitment when it comes to follow dreams/career goals.
Uninteresting: 1. The characters were cocky, self-obsessed, and rude. Couldn't really get anything from them (this is the first issue so maybe that will change). 2. The people's reactions could've been played for deeper meaning (see above the black family reacting to the civil war battle), but it was mostly skipped over to deal more with the cocky rude boys. 3. How can such cocky rude boys become scientists? There could've been something there too.
Overall, I feel kind of meh about it and would like to read the trade and see if anything more happens with the ideas I've mentioned. But at the same time I'm not going out of my way to track it down.

This was the most fun I have had reading a graphic novel.
I enjoyed the snippets of adventure from one end of the world to the other while the rest watched on in the tiny corner of the world.
Fast-paced with an emotional arc, "Chrononauts" is one of my all-time favorite comics by Millar. Watching best friends Corbin and Danny embark on a time-travel expedition was thrilling, heroic, and risky. But worth the read.
Sean Murphy adds his artistic output on every page, contributing to the engaging story.
My only qualm, I wish there were future volumes.

An engaging first issue in what promises to be a different story. Better still, Millar actually makes the leads a little distasteful and doesn't shy away from making them smug. It's a refreshing change of pace from most comicbook protagonists being effortlessly cool and masculine anti-heroes.
The story hinges on a central conceit that has potential and I'll very certainly grab a volume now that I read the free first issue.

A fun, high-octane romp through time complemented by gorgeous art and a sweeping (though self-contained) plot. It lost me a bit with the deus-ex-machina at the end (if someone who’s read this can let me know where the other suit came from, that would be great), but otherwise, I had a blast tearing through this!

Fortunately
free. I’m glad I didn’t spend money on this foolishness. Many tropes lead to an obvious segue- yes, two arrogant idiots who don’t care about history end up in a period they’ve never personally heard of (though it’s not obscure)- what does one expect to have happen? Some nice drawing.

A toxically masculine mess of white male savior fantasies that limited homoeroticism couldn't even save. This single star is for the art. At least it wasnt horrible to look at.

It's Mark Millar, so it has to contain at least one self-involved man-child. I don't know, I quite liked the art, 2.5 stars?

A time travel tale.
Good color artwork,image freebie. After a few time jumps into the past. The inventor sends his friend, a real hot dog..things go wrong in a hurry.

The artwork is beautiful, in a style that reminds me of the beloved Kubert family.

Bro-y as hell. Couldn't tell if it was poking fun at super testosterone filled comics, but I don't think they were.
Woulda loved it if not for all the bro stuff.
Hugely inspired by Back to the Future. Kinda reminded me of a mix between JoJo and The Red Wing. The Red Wing was by far the better comic.
After a while, the story was very hard to follow (time wise) and the characters looked VERY similar.

Image Comics continues to release countless titles that set the bar higher for readers, and Mark Millar's Chrononauts is no exception. Great first issue which sets up the whole paradox of time travel from the start. Reminds me of Jean Claude VanDamme's Timecop movie a while back.
Looking forward to reading more.

A pair of cocky scientists invent time-travel suits and take their first trip? Of course, something goes wrong. The idea isn't too new, but the presentation is rather appealing. Characters feel promising, as does thr story. The art is very nice - similar to Black Science and Low but with a more "sketched" look. I'll get the trade paperback.
March 29, 2015
It is a good start. Not too flashy. But good enough. I hope it gets better, considering the rights for film already being sold. And I trust .
April 29, 2015
I'm being a little bold here and giving it 5 stars, while it should probably "only" be 4, but I really liked this and the idea is interesting. I do realise that a big chunk of the story is probably pretty predictable, but I'm sure Millar is smarter than falling into the old plot clichés.
May 29, 2015
Not too bad of a beginning, not sure if I like either of the main characters but I'll keep reading and see what happens. Time travel has been done so many times and it will be interesting to see what Millar has in mind.
