Past Tense

In Past Tense (2023–present, Dark Horse), a time-displaced astronaut crash-lands in a prehistoric world, only to discover that the past is not as empty—or as simple—as history books suggest. This debut issue, written by Mark Russell with art by Sean Izaakse, launches a survival story that blends sci-fi adventure with sharp social commentary, a hallmark of Russell’s work. With its lean, one-issue start, the series promises to explore how the distant past might hold a mirror to our present, making it a compelling entry for fans of thought-provoking genre comics.
