The Hook- A man finds he can rewind time for 24 hours and keep his memories. Unfourtionaly there are slight changes in events every time where he can just bet on the Lottery. But it does seem for some Reason Betting on the Stock Markets works. Unfourtionaly he finds other people has the same power, and don’t like a new guy moving in her their turf.

Review-   Some of these stories start with a good idea but they don’t know how to write a multiple part story with it. They blow it all on the idea. But this one manages to match good idea with good character and story pacing. It starts out with the character in a bad place then rewinds. Like the dialogue, and the brisk pace of the story. It a nice what would you do story. Most people may do what the character does. They limited the powers enough where he not a god...or you won’t ask why he doesn’t stop 911 or kill Hiler (Hitler HATES time travelers).  They never really explain why on Stock market doesn’t change. Also since the character is basically cheating the stock market...it hard to root against the other people that cheating. Other then the fact those people seem to be violent sociopaths. But kind of like that. The fact the character not perfect, and somewhat cheating makes him relatable. Because I think a lot of us would use those powers that way.  The bad guys are nice and creepy. Their faceless people who secretly runs things. You wonder how the character will get out of it the art is pretty good. Although sometimes, the character eyes seemed kind of dead. On the Plus sides the facial expression are pretty distinct and so is the different faces. The color muted and fit the tone.  Still it’s a fun read and looking forward to what next.
