TIME SENSITIVE #2: Sci-Fi Comic What if the People You Love Could Be Erased — and No One Remembered Them But You?

TIME SENSITIVE Issue #2 launches on Kickstarter March 17th.

If Issue #1 connected with even one person like this, I can’t wait to see what Issue #2 does. 4/4

“Art is never a waste. It’s how we express our fears, our hopes, and how we connect with one another. And at the risk of repeating myself, you have connected with me at the very least.”

I don’t have a clever response to that. I just have gratitude. 3/4

“This book is not only visually stunning, but it is a rare and amazing thing when, in just a handful of pages, the reader comes away feeling like these characters are real.” 2/4

I make comics because I believe stories can close the distance between strangers. Then someone like Backer #24 shows up and proves it.

This is one of the most meaningful things anyone has ever said about my work. 🧵 1/4

Time Sensitive Issue #2 has a new colorist!
Sarah Stern. 300+ issues. Batman, Cap, Star Wars. Every major publisher in comics.
She said yes to our book. Jorge called her work "maybe the best colour I've had so far."
Yeah. We leveled up.
Launches March 17th on Kickstarter!

We got Filipe Andrade to do a collectible cover for TIME SENSITIVE #2. If you know his work on Laila Starr, Rare Flavours, or Guardians of the Galaxy, you know nobody else draws like this. What he turned in blew my mind. Kickstarter only — this one will never be reprinted. Full reveal in the video.

Oh my god, I loved Machinarium and Samorost! My kids too. Would love to play this with them. Good find.

And, hi Eric!

What do you do when your game's levels are locked, the missions are built — and STORY still isn't working? That's when they call ME.

I'm speaking at GDC 2026 on the tools I use as a Narrative Fixer. If your studio's sitting on a broken narrative — let's talk.

#GDC #gamedev

I’ve shipped AAA games. Written for Netflix. Nothing hit like watching real people open something that lived in my head for years.

The unboxing videos have been destroying me (in the best way). This one from Stephanie Palacino-Hernandez is chef’s kiss.

Time Sensitive Issue #2 is officially a Kickstarter "Project We Love." Again!

Issue #1 hit 465% funded with 850+ backers. Issue #2 is locked and loaded — and just got selected by Kickstarter for the 2nd time and I genuinely don't know how to be cool about it.

$1 reserves your copy of TIME SENSITIVE #2 and gets you this NEW Exclusive Art Print by Jorge Coelho & Sarah Stern when you buy your copy. This goes away when we launch March 17th. → StrangeLandComics.com

I've shipped games to millions of players. Nothing prepared me for shipping 800 comics from my dining room table with my kids.

That was Issue #1. 465% funded. 850+ backers. The most creatively fulfilling thing I've ever done.

Now Issue 2 of TIME SENSITIVE is coming to Kickstarter March 17th!

We did it!! Nearly 800 copies of my comic "Time Sensitive" #1 have been packed and mailed!

I mean, is it just me, or isn't threatening to invade Greenland in order to provoke a break up of NATO exactly the kind of thing a Russian sleeper agent would do?

This is the best kind of review you can ask for!

I totally missed this! Thank you so much. A few weeks later, by you just made my night!

@tamrabonvillain.bsky.social I'm an Emmy-winning video game and comic book writer, and a fan of your work! I'd love to chat with you about a potential collab. Would you be so kind as to DM me? : )

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Here's a little video I made at Midnight on the last night, staying up late to watch the final seconds of my first Kickstarter campaign click over to zero.

I’m still processing it all, but mostly just feeling grateful.

Next up: production begins. Then it's time to ramp up Issue 2 for January!

Twelve more hours!! ⏳
Okay, I gotta say it once: Things are getting really time sensitive now! 😝

"Time Sensitive" #1 closes it's doors at midnight (EST) tonight! But it's not too late to grab one of these three amazing variant covers.

Massive career milestone today: our first REVIEW for "Time Sensitive" just dropped at The Beat — and it’s glowing. 🥹

“A rapid-fire sci-fi mystery comic of the highest order… kinetic artwork, great characters, and pacing that can’t be over-praised for how well it draws readers through the book.”
