Time Jam


Very good reason to get drunk.

From wikipedia:

...the situations typically arose from misunderstandings or ideological differences between various groups that could be resolved through reason and perseverance. The core theme of the stories is an optimistic liberal humanism: the adventures aren’t about defeating enemies but about exploring, facing challenges, and celebrating diversity.


This is one of my favorite comics. They handle more like travel journals into strange worlds than future-themed adrenaline-action with explosions every three minutes.
My favorite sequence in the comic-series was when they after tracking down drugs and illegal technology on 80s Earth, find out that the guilty party is Holy Trinity. Big is Valerian's and friends surprise when they find out that God is a no-good, down-on-his-luck business man, Jesus is an old hippie and Holy Spirit is a broken slot-machine.

Im quite sure, after seeing that intro, that Tim Jam will not be anything like that. Well, hopefully it made the creators rich.
