In the previous comic, a cop is hassling Tiffany about being out so late at her age and wants to take her home. Tiffany must flee. She heads for home where she runs into her future self's husband. Her future self is out buying something and her parents are out of town. She explains to Chris who she is and what is going on. He agrees to help her but he wants to go out and find the older Tiffany first. Meanwhile, the other girls landed in the mall and realize that one-way time travelers had of communicating with each other was the comic strips, especially Chuck Spachefski's. So they go to his house and find that he is really Charlotte and she knows that they are time travelers and that there is a war going on something a time traveler from the future told her about. One group believes in time travel and one doesn't. Both are from different time periods. Then Charlotte decides they know too much and need to go. So they hightail it out of there and go in search of Tiffany. They go into another riff with Tiffany 2000 going along with them.
This time they land in the future which is the most dangerous place for them as a man named Jahpo who goes by Grandfather is looking for them to do what we don't know. The girls split up with two of them going to try to find a cure for Mac's leukemia and the other three going to find Wari who they believe to be the same one they met back in prehistoric times.
Wari is suffering from dementia but she tells them her story of how she took the lifeboat back with the doctor when her people sent another one and the doctor raised her son as her own. Jahpo is her son. Mac finds out that she doesn't have leukemia but a time traveler's cancer that is incurable. The girls have a walkie talkie to talk to each other and one group gets into trouble and needs help.
This comic really pushes the limits of the series as Jahpo tries to fix something in 1988 which is where they want to return to. 1988 has turned into a war zone and they're heading right for it. This book is deep into the characters and the sense of fate and being unable to outrun it. I love this series and this book lives up to the hype. I give it five out of five stars.
