If you liked (or still like) Choose Your Own Adventure books, you have to check this one out. It's a choose your own adventure in graphic novel form, and I couldn't put it down until I had made it through to every ending.
It starts off with a simple choice, vanilla or chocolate ice cream but then branches off into wild directions when you meet a scientist with a time machine, a psychic helmet, and a machine that ends all life on the planet. Each choice branches you off onto a different path, sometimes throwing you into situations you can't escape, and often looping you through the same time periods over and over.
The drawings are fairly simplistic, and the paradoxes can be a bit hard to swallow, but the overall effect is great and I hope the author has at least one more of these up his sleeve (and also, how can you ever dislike a book featuring a giant squid?)
