Just not impressed, concept interesting but really hard to fit as comic book concepts. Would be better, potentially, fleshed out in books and by one author, but then again who knows. Concept of next installment interesting too, but since presentation was lacking on this one . . . .

Turgid nonsense saved only by excellent collaboration with the artists.This is the sort of comic book you do when you already have a job making comic books so you want to make more but you don't really care about the audience too much and you don't want to work too hard. You could call this "professional" work, and it is that in every sense of the word.The concept could not be duller. At least Peabody and Sherman were funny.I read this because I'm gradually becoming convinced that Frazier Irving...

Days Missing has an intriguing concept: an immortal watcher guides humanity through its darkest moments, inserting himself into the timeline before extinction level events and guiding key individuals on how to prevent it, before wiping any trace of himself from human memory. The first story, a timely one about a deadly pandemic, was excellent. Unfortunately, Days Missing wants to be The Sandman very badly, including adopting all of the eccentricities that make that surreal series hard to get int...

The first volume of Days Missing collects fice chapters, each done by a different creative team, that are basically a stand alone stories.The concept is intriguing, but unfortunately some of the chapters are not that interesting.The art, even though each chapter has a different artist, looks great and fits the stories rather well.Overall, this is a quick read with an interesting concept.

Interesting premise, all the more interesting because of it's source, Roddenberry or was it Roddenberry Productions?* Anyway within the framework had individual stories by different writer/artist teams of varying quality.*Seems like opposite of the Prime Directive. Heh heh.

I needed a graphic novel selection for a book club, and this part Dr. Who part Pretender part Quantum Leap mash up - but darker than all 3 - intrigued me from the library shelf. The artwork is fantastic, but the story didn't grab me.

Fantastic story with wonderful illustrations. I picked this up second hand at Granite State Comic-Con in 2014, and I just read it in January.I love the idea of the Steward, and I love how the writing twists and turns real-life events into supernatural ones in a very believable way. I'd love to see more books in the series, and I'd like it of Hollywood picked this up too.

Imagine if one person controlled all unimaginable events in our time. One person who could change our fate by changing time. This volume includes several issues each of which includes a certain day in time that was "erased" from our knowledge. Events that all could've ruined mankind and were necessary to be removed. I really enjoyed the graphics and the idea behind the characters plot. Other than that the font at some points was really hard to read, and I never really grew attached to our main c...

This book adds a greater level of importance to certain historical events with the insertion of a character that is the personification of 'deus ex machina.' The Steward is above normal humans and has the task to keep humanity alive by tweaking certain historical events. He does this by traveling to pivotal moments in history and deleting certain days that, if allowed to occur, would lead to the destruction of the world. Each issue happens at a different point in history and the Steward is mostl...

I first heard about this series at NYCC and immediately knew I had to bump it to the top of my to-read list. It definitely did not disappoint. Days Missing proved to be an original and interesting story full of intelligence. Add to that fantastic artwork and you have a graphic novel that should be on everyone's reading list.

This seemed like an interesting concept at first, but I just couldn't get into it... this was so blah.

O conceito de seres imortais que vivem para além do tempo e vigiam a humanidade não é novo. Days Missing envolve-nos nas aventuras de um ser conhecido apenas como Steward, traduzível como acompanhante, que segue o percurso da humanidade numa biblioteca fora do tempo e que não teme envolver-se quando os acontecimentos ameaçam o destino humano. Apesar de omnisciente, este vigia não é todo poderoso. Tudo o que pode fazer é tentar influenciar os acontecimentos envolvendo-se com os protagonistas e, q...

The concept of this book - A guardian of Earth - has been done to death by more sources than I care to remember. TV, Films, Books, and Comic books all have given us stories about a sentential/watcher that oversees humanity and steps in o from ourselves. This book fits strongly into that niche, giving us a new perspective by using historical figures - such as Mary Shelly - who never seemed to be a threat to humanity at all. The stories vary in strength but none are really bad and some are origina...

The art is consistently good, though once again, some issues are better than others. However, this may be a storytelling device, as the art tends to correspond to the overall feel of the tale. For example, the first tale, which tells of the failing efforts of a scientific team trying to find the cure for a virulent strain of ebola, features art which is dark and sacrifices detail to give the story a frantic, apocalyptic feel.

This is the perfect example of what Bill Simmons calls a “5 o clocker.” A 5 o clocker is the term Simmons’ superintendent father would use for the sort of mindless action movies he would see at five o clock after a particularly difficult day superintending his school district. Movies like Armageddon or Shooter probably come to mind. They’re fun, easily digestible, and require barely any thought. Basically, they help you forget where you are and the responsibilities you have for a few hours.So wh...

While Days Missing has an intriguing premise the execution of the stories fell short. The Steward was a bit boring as a protagonist. For example he had no real moral flaw, yes necessity dictated that he made hard deceptions but he was always cognizant of his behavior. The plotting pase was also off and the narrative was weak. I would read the next volume of this because the idea is really fun and I think it deserves a chance to flesh out. With that said I would have to say vol 1 was ok, 2 stars....

I'm addicted to this series! The art is wonderfully drawn and in such detail too! The plot was a little hard to grasp at first but I think the author created a very original story here, and I give him credit for that.

A more palatable version of Doctor Who.

Able to fold time and relive a day as many times as needed, our mysterious protagonist is as old as the planet and desperate to keep us alive long enough for us to evolve into intellects equal to his. Constantly trying to save us from catastrophes far and near, tiny as an atom and massive as the human race itself, he stands separate and watchful. A series of stand-alone stories, there is a hint at the end of something even bigger and older. I'll definitely keep reading.First read, May 25 2011. S...

I don't know why people are pooping on this in their reviews. The artwork is a bit inconsistent, but aside from that the concept and execution of this graphic novel are well done. The last chapter was by far the best and opened the series up to go in interesting directions. I liked a number of the stories. One or two were a little 'eh' to me - but more because of a lack of being compelled by a character or story arch than poor execution or writing. A volume triple the size would do a great deal
