Stuff That Is Awesome – Time Lincoln

A few days ago, I was was browsing our sister site Toronto Thumbs when I noticed something mind-numbingly awesome – Time Lincoln. Yes, Time Lincoln. Ok, those two words don’t exactly give one much to go on, so let’s take a look at the solicitation for the book:

What happens when the Great Emancipator is suddenly freed from the bonds of time to right wrongs throughout history? Taken out of time on the night of his assassination with the help of H.G. Wells’s time machine, Abraham Lincoln finds himself waging war upon the forces of evil in the past, present and future! In his last hour, he lived a lifetime!

Let’s just go through this step-by-step, shall we?

Great Emancipator is a great wrestler name, righting wrongs throughout history is a line of employment that I wish I could sign up for, H.G. Wells build a pretty rad time machine, and Abraham Lincoln is a man who knows a thing or two about wars and the waging of them.

Thumbs’ writer Kevin Hickey was down on the whole thing, especially since it happened to feature yet-another comic book appearance by current president, Barack Obama. While I do think the Obama cameo has long-ago grown lame, I’m pretty hyped for time-traveling steampunk emancipation. The only thing that could make this any better would be if Abe picked up Teddy Roosevelt and the two of them went on a dinosaur safari.

Time Lincoln is being released by Antarctic Press and hits comic book stores later this month.
