Melody Nelson and Jesse Harmon fell in love while living in a small town called Perennial Harbor, but years after Jesse left, it has become a nightmarish place. Jesse is struggling to sleep because Melody is still stuck there, so she plans to return and save her. This proves difficult since reality is coming apart around Melody and it’s sending her back in time.  

The first issue of Blink and You’ll Miss It takes readers into a ghost town where Jesse is returning for the first time in many years. The place is nearly empty and looks like a beat up time capsule with nearly no one around. When she finally finds people, things get even stranger. 

Writers Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan spend much of the first issue creating the atmosphere of Perennial Harbor and teasing the weirdness to come. Artist Keith Browning and colorist Brad Simpson drive the isolationism home with spooky empty streets and dilapidated structures.  

It’s a solid start for the new supernatural title with a good hook to bring readers back for issue 2.
