"-How do we know that we aren't the ones who killed these people, and started this whole thing? How do we know that we didn't do this all already? -We don't. And we never will."

This week, Mike and Alex continue their exploration of Oni Press' The Bunker by Joshua Hale Fialkov and Joe Infurnari with Volume 2 (issues #5-9). With some further examination of the time travel rules by the book itself, the guys dive a little deeper into what they think might and might not be possible to accomplish by traveling into the past, then take a larger existential look at free will versus fate and how that debate is presented on the page. What does it mean to make a choice if you know how that choice will play out? Is it even still a choice at that point? Finally, they discuss who the good guys and bad guys are of the story (if there even are any of either), and who they may be focused on heading into the back half of the story.

We head into the penultimate story arc with The Bunker Volume 3 (issues #10-14), so grab it wherever you get your comics and we'll see you here next week!
