This week features a comic with time travel that’s so fun, your nose will bleed! Or your older self might die! But don’t worry, he’ll come back. Shen, with help from Megan McKay and Dave Mercier, brings us Live With Yourself, a Multiplicity-like with heart and zany, doppelganger-infused hijinx that tells the story of Todd and his three friends, himself, himself, and himself. You don’t need more than one of yourself to enjoy this comic, though!
