Shiga, Jason -- Meanwhile

Very glorious Choose-Your-Own-Adventure graphic novel. I am mostly not a fan of the CYOA form (insufficiently interactive for me) -- but this thing pulls it off, through very tight marriage of form and content. A boy discovers a mad scientist's laboratory containing a time machine, a telepathy helmet, and a box that destroys all life on Earth. You therefore wind up exploring many recursive paths (timelines, memory-tracks) while sometimes accidentally destroying all life on Earth. The ability to see adjacent story-paths crossing the page adds to the experience too.
