Meanwhile: Pick Any Path. 3,856 Story Possibilities (10th Anniversary Edition)

Jason Shiga’s Meanwhile: Pick Any Path. 3,856 Story Possibilities (10th Anniversary Edition) is a single-issue interactive comic from Harry N. Abrams that uses a branching, choose-your-own-adventure structure to deliver thousands of narrative paths. First published in 2020, this edition showcases Shiga’s inventive, puzzle-like storytelling, where readers navigate a mad scientist’s world through a web of tubes and tabs. Its clever, non-linear design makes it a standout example of how comics can push the boundaries of reader participation and narrative complexity.
