"We wrote these letters to tell you that its not too late. To inspire a future we hope can be made. That is a lie. If this works, and you are reading this, you need to understand something. This NEEDS to happen. The world HAS to die."

This season on Storied Arcs, Mike and Alex are delving deep into The Bunker by Joshua Hale Fialkov and Joe Infurnari from Oni Press, starting this week with Volume 1 (issues #1-4). The guys start by revisiting the topic of time travel stories (see: Paper Girls, Time Before Time) and discuss what kind of time travel rules apply (or appear to apply) to The Bunker. Is it a closed loop, or can things be changed? They also examine the trope of "trauma as character trait" as it's presented in these issues, and as it is used throughout popular media today. What would you do if you received a letter from your future self? And what would you write to convince your past self that it's really you? And would you even trust yourself either way? These are the questions The Bunker offers up.

The timey-wimey-ness continues with The Bunker Volume 2 (issues #5-9), so find it wherever you get your comics and join up back here again next week!
