Inhaltsangabe

What if time stopped for everyone but you? Would you stay in the nicest Manhattan penthouse, ignoring the frozen owner standing in the corner of the room? Would you eat at the finest restaurants, their food paused in time and still hot on the plates? And if you could unfreeze anyone with just a touch, would you? Or would you keep this newfound playground for yourself? You could live anywhere. The world would be yours. But would you have the nerve to reach out and take it?

These are the questions Henry Jacobs wrestles with when he finds himself walking through a world paused between seconds. As he navigates a New York City devoid of sound and movement, frozen at 11:13 on a Friday night, he meets a few unlikely allies. Along the way, Henry realizes that while he can unpause anyone, he doesn’t have the ability to re-pause them. Anyone Henry so much as bumps into instantly becomes a major player in his eerie new reality. And when Henry unwittingly unfreezes the wrong person, he’s faced with a horror he never thought possible.

Written by Matthew K. Manning (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, DC vs. Vampires: World War V) and drawn by Connor Boyle (Judge Dredd, Heavy Metal), John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction: Pause tells the story of a small group of everyday civilians turned into modern urban explorers as they rediscover a world that is suddenly alien to them. Each member of this odd band of misfits is hiding something from the others, and one of those secrets might just be the key to unlocking the mystery behind the paused phenomenon. In a landscape filled with paranoia, suspicion, and with a mysterious killer lurking in the shadows, Henry and his new friends must decide if they should return the world to how it was, and if that’s even still possible.

Time has stopped and there’s a monster on the loose. Can life ever truly be normal again?
