ALBERT EINSTEIN TIME MASON #1

DOCTOR WHO may be the Time Lord of the moment, but this new comic series threatens a new – if unlikely – character to give her a run for her money.

Albert Einstein Time Mason sees the theoretical physicist reimagined as the leader of a team of geniuses fighting to protect the integrity of our timeline. Albert joins the group after being entrusted with a time-travelling pocket watch by a dying Time Mason, and together with a squad of historical figures is about to take on an evil which puts the past, present, and future in peril.

Having started life as a kickstarter project, this new series promises to be a lot of fun.

Priced £3.35, Albert Einstein Time Mason #1 is out now,

LAST SPACE RACE #1

THIS hard sci-fi tale about humanity’s first contact with an alien ship, takes inspiration from legendary writers of the genre like Arthur C Clarke and Issac Asimov.

When satalites pick up a huge object hurtling towards Earth, the world is sent careening into what will become humanity’s Last Space Race. While two aerospace competitors battle it out to be the first to launch towards the object, the mysteries surrounding it begin to pile up.

With words by Peter Calloway, who has written episodes of Legion and Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger, and artwork by Alex Shibao, Last Space Race #1 is out now, priced £3.35.

THAT’S HOW YOU GET ALIENS

THE 10th season of Archer has been unveiled at New York Comic Con – and it could be the show’s biggest year yet.

Archer: 1999, is heavily influenced by Star Wars and Alien, with the action taking place on the space station, Seamus.

With Archer and Lana as co-captains of a rag-tag crew (Pam is now a rock monster, and Kreiger a robot), the trailer seen by audiences at NYCC shows the action taking place in the recesses of deep space.

There’s no date as yet for when season 10 will premiere, but it can’t come quick enough – phrasing!
