Manage episode 49162125 series 50045
“Write your mistake. Ingest one mushroom. Go to sleep. Wake anew.” It's the Super Fantastic Nerd Hour review of Seconds, the new graphic novel from Scott Pilgrim author Bryan Lee O'Malley! We debate if Seconds’s premise about a restaurant chef altering the space-time continuum charts new territory for comics, discuss how its commentary about being on the “bleak precipice of a early-thirties crisis” compares to the science of aging, and geek out about all of its references to pop culture. In the INFINITE CROSSOVER CHAMBER, which coming of age story stands the test of time — Seconds or Back to the Future? We divulge our top 5 stories about regret.
