Back to the Future #23

Time Served, Part 2" sets a quietly tense mood on Marcelo Ferreira's cover, where a wild-haired Doc Brown stands inside a shadowy room — his small dog at his feet — while a pensive Marty McFly perches on a railing outside beneath a night sky, a third figure leaning wearily nearby. The divided composition, split between interior darkness and the cool blue of the outdoors, perfectly captures the reflective, something's-not-quite-right atmosphere that defines the best Back to the Future storytelling. IDW's ongoing series continued to be a worthy companion to the beloved franchise in 2017, and this issue looks like no exception.
