Deniz Camp gave us a version of Kang the Conqueror in The Ultimates, but here we get a look at what it's like to be one of the time-stolen soldiers fighting at the beck and call of such a temporal tyrant.
The job pitch is
"Welcome to the Time War!
"The greatest battle of all-time!
"Destroy Drang the Despot's inhuman AI army!
"Sharpen your sword skills!
"See the centuries!
"All as an independent contractor!
"Kronos (powered by TEMP!):
"Joy, purpose, and an almost living wage!"
Ah. "Almost" living wage. So, a temp must get a few side gigs to make ends meet:
Deniz Camp, writer; Eric Zawadzki, artist; Jordie Bellaire, colorist; Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, letterer; Tom Muller, designer; Wesley Griffith, production designer

I like how the whole idea for this series riffs on comics in general, especially with this issue banging on Kang and his tendency to fight his own temporal counterparts and spinoffs.
