Comments: Albert finds himself trying to save his future brain from a weird assortment of characters. Plus a Time Robot that is a colossus of destruction just waiting to happen.
Doctor Rupret Stiltzkin is the villain and he comes across as ridiculous. Albert meanwhile is shown as a man of action and he leaps into action firing a German Luger. He finds himself in a hard hitting battle against a blonde that he figures out how to put to the best possible use.
Albert Einstein is a Time Mason what exactly they are who knows? We know it has to do with time and protecting it but what is this organization?
The art definitely has a fun side to it and the story does to. It does not take itself overly serious.
Albert also has one coolly illustrated pocket watch.
The write ups in the back explain everything you need to know. This is a good start being the first issue it introduces you to the main characters. It sets up for future adventures to. Albert Einstein does make for a recognized name and this version makes for a fun adventurer in time.

Comments: The Caspian Gates are a monumental structure that is inspiring. Having a time disruption at its gates is weird. Nazi tech in the eighth century is a surprise. Albert gets the call to action and he springs into action. He is drawn as a dashing man of action.
Albert Einstein finds himself in battle against Alexander the Great. This is a fight that you are unlikely to ever see anywhere else.
This issue is over to fast. It needed more to happen in it. Albert is a wonderful character but in this issue his personality is touched on yet not really gotten into. Alexander as well needed to be gotten into more as to who he is and why he does what he does. Plus how did he get Nazi guns? Who is behind it?
Having a man or group defending time anomalies is not new but having a famous person such as Albert Einstein doing it is. He does have a flare to his character.

Comments: Alexander the Great is trying to carve up Howard with his sword. These two do have a rough and tumble fight.
Howard's face is not detailed enough. Others faces are not illustrated clearly enough to fully see them.
Colonel Reiger works for the General and their pans are bearing fruit. These Nazi's are evil.
Albert gets babysitter in the form of one huge hulking ex-boxer.
Albert's time traveling this issue takes him back to the wild west in Silver City. Here Albert meets a Nazi and they being in the old west do what comes naturally they have an old fashioned shoot out.
This comic needs a better focus on the story and the characters. Albert is a fun character but having the story explained more as to what is going on and why would help.
Having Nazi's as villains is always a great way to bring across evil and to have the readers know right away who to hate.
A time traveling Albert Einstein who is also an man of action is something different from the scientist people expect him to be.

Comments: Einstein finds himself in the old wild wild west. He is after a Nazi but finds a certain outlaw first.
Bonnie and the Chief are great characters. So with Bonnie of course there is a robbery happening. Einstein puts his brain to use but what he does is not explained well enough to understand. Than off goes Einstein why though we get a brief explanation. Yet it does seem strange that this happens here since there is no real reason and it does leave the main story just hanging.
The character of Einstein needs to be better used and if your going to make him an action hero go more into that aspect.
More adventure and action are needed and better explanations to make this work. The art works though and does show off these characters as you would expect to see them. There portrayals with how they are drawn is spot on.

Comments: Einstein is in battle with a Nazi and both can time travel. They are in ancient Egypt. Now they find themselves facing each other in combat while Cleopatra watches. For time travelers things can get strange. One thing leads to another and Einstein runs off with Cleopatra.
Once back home Einstein and his assistant share a chit chat that is amusing to see.
The fighting is done well enough but it needed more of an element of excitement in it. The art has a fun style to it. The story though just needs more to it. It needs a thrilling aspect.
The other characters besides Einstein need to be explained more.
Overall the comic moves along smoothly. Just overall it is boring. Albert Einstein is a wonderful character and if used properly would provide for great entertainment.
Einstein's gun is a thing of beauty to behold.
