Wait so who died???

2025-03-16 18:25:08 +0000 UTCI wouldn't call this horror, but it is quite bittersweet
TheDerangedOptician
2025-02-06 06:32:28 +0000 UTCFinally an end to the story, it was sweet

2025-02-02 03:35:23 +0000 UTCToo lovely. ❤️
Corinne Parker
2024-08-29 01:28:44 +0000 UTCOne thing that I love about this is also how the squares with characters and actions are put over the background, so we are simultaneously shown the scenery they’re driving through and what’s going on inside the train! Beautifully done and organised!
Arslana
2024-08-28 19:57:53 +0000 UTCthis is so stinking beautiful, man
Jaya Rajamani
2024-08-05 18:56:42 +0000 UTCI think that kid was him. The adult was given the chance to go back to being a kid, and the kid was given the chance to be an adult, but all they - he - really wanted was a reminder that things will get better, and they gave eachother that, without actually having to go anywhere.
Felix
2024-07-20 03:03:44 +0000 UTCI think it was more of the opposite. He was let off to ‘heaven’ instead.
RedVelvetHomoMuffin
2024-07-10 17:19:17 +0000 UTCSo he was let off bc he saved himself or he saved a kid so they gave him an out? Or is the station with no service hell the point of no return? Either way really creepy and wonderful at the same time 💕
Cerrasponda
2024-07-06 20:36:43 +0000 UTCYes I loved that 2002 detailing!
Cerrasponda
2024-07-06 20:35:17 +0000 UTCThis was really good…and the details in the background down to including posters for Signs and MIB2, which were both released in 2002. Great work!
Kelley Gillespie
2024-07-03 20:11:51 +0000 UTCNo its definitely him as a kid. He goes back in time to when he was a child and the kid goes to when he was an adult, signified by him giving the ticket to his younger self. They don't actually swap places though because they are the same person
Derek C
2024-06-12 02:59:57 +0000 UTCToo many thoughts about this one & honestly I think a few previous comments really nailed it on the head. This was so beautifully done, Adam.
Zesty Conversation
2024-05-30 22:45:58 +0000 UTCmaybe the train did take him to hell after he didn't keep the other half of the ticket.
Ronja
2024-05-30 08:05:31 +0000 UTCLiteral CHILLS! Love this one. Such a great story you did right by this one mate.
Dee Bee
2024-05-19 09:44:18 +0000 UTCI’ve read this so many times now. This is an absolute triumph.
Kit Foreman
2024-05-13 07:48:38 +0000 UTCThis is such an amazing story, start to finish. You can feel the reveal coming and it is still beautifully fantastic. I pre-ordered the book ages ago but I keep re-reading these, loaned it to my friend since he promised to buy the Kindle edition haha I've converted another one to a fan! =)
Embyr Noire
2024-05-08 23:10:21 +0000 UTCThe numbers also add up to 13. I had noticed it too, and immediately thought of 1408. I like it being an angel number more though hahah

2024-04-30 03:49:24 +0000 UTCHe was the only person on the train T_T

2024-04-29 17:44:37 +0000 UTCOh OK....this is my new favourite
Kirsty
2024-04-29 17:34:32 +0000 UTCReally really loved this!!! Saw this on Insta and thought I must renew my membership to read the rest of this comic NOW
Eddie Gauw
2024-04-29 08:30:54 +0000 UTCLove a happy ending.
Casey Swann
2024-04-28 21:08:21 +0000 UTCI was wondering whether there was significance behind 7312 and found this website saying it indicates a guardian angel guiding you down the right path https://www.sosyncd.com/the-meaning-of-the-7312-angel-number/ Any one know what the constellations are? Besides the Big Dipper I mean also, love the queensboro sign and how the front is out of focus.
Isa
2024-04-28 19:21:17 +0000 UTCI love the subtlety with the movie posters btw 🥹
Danielle
2024-04-28 13:05:51 +0000 UTCI just took this as both a kid and our main character learned a lesson. Not until I read the comments did I realize people thought they were the same person or his husband 🥲
Danielle
2024-04-28 13:04:44 +0000 UTCIf it's not him on the train and it's his spouse it doesn't make sense that they left him get out of the train, right? I think it's defo a young version of him
Noèlia Vidal Diaz
2024-04-28 10:16:48 +0000 UTCHappy ending ♥️
Bientoro Wibowo
2024-04-28 08:08:15 +0000 UTCWow. No words ❤️
Erwin Hernandez
2024-04-27 19:23:21 +0000 UTCOh, this is so sweet. He did go back in time and try to change things for his younger self. My favourite. Can't wait to get your book, I pre-ordered it months ago 🥹🤍
Giulia Carvelli
2024-04-27 17:37:46 +0000 UTCOk I just read a bunch of comments trying to better understand, and this one made it click for me. Thank u 🙂
Kate Cochran
2024-04-27 15:37:18 +0000 UTCI don’t think so, the stairs go up. 🥰
Nick Broyles
2024-04-27 14:43:04 +0000 UTCADAM I'M CRYING 😭
Orion Rodriguez
2024-04-27 05:42:18 +0000 UTCOnly one person *is* allowed on the train at once - we're seeing two versions of the same person from different times. The talk on the train reminds him of the good things in the past and he stops wanting to change it, then the train returns him to where he came from - it's the end of the line, like when you fall asleep on a train after a late night and miss your stop. Really great work.
Ian Wickham
2024-04-26 18:02:33 +0000 UTCAlso I started this comic on instagram yesterday and had a nightmare about going onto the train and not having given something valuable enough, thank you Adam xD
Nisa
2024-04-25 23:32:42 +0000 UTCI'm pretty sure the kid is him. At the beginning he says he was a kid when he first heard about it, then it says that only one person can be in the train at a time (also they look very similar). I think the choice here is he basically has to kill his child self if he wants to go back and do things differently. He has all of this regret about his life choices, but then ends up having empathy for his child self and developing a new outlook. He's able to get off because he chose to reincarnate his child self and he's no longer technically the passenger, he's the future version of the passenger, which lives in the real world.
Nisa
2024-04-25 23:31:15 +0000 UTCHe sacrificed himself to save his younger self
Haifa Hussain
2024-04-25 22:03:57 +0000 UTCI think it’s def the same person, not the husband. Look at the first meeting frame, the faces are the same but one is older, the same cowlick but shorter. Same big eyes. Same expression. Amazing comic!!!
Savanna
2024-04-25 20:14:02 +0000 UTCOk another thought popped up: so he wanted to go back to his CHILDHOOD to change, whatever caused his spouse to die. And if that kid is indeed his future spouse, he let them out, knowing what will happen to them, he could not change, that will cause them to die. (From mobbing by others, to meeting him this could be anything in case of longterm effects). Ok I think I found MY interpretation why this is still deemed horror. Love it people Could interpret this in diffrent ways still. Love this! Really great storytelling.
Jun Orphancross
2024-04-25 19:07:24 +0000 UTCOh this one is really really great. So the kid might be his spouse, he encouraged to get of the train so they will meet. But he arrived in his present time, when he could not get them back from the dead so it is hell,where he arrived after all? This is bittersweet, wholesome and awesome at the same time.
Jun Orphancross
2024-04-25 18:45:26 +0000 UTCIs this the best one you’ve ever done? Possibly.
Mattie Hanson
2024-04-25 15:59:23 +0000 UTCOk but the Sara Lee poster is an SNL reference, right?
Loren Scolaro
2024-04-25 15:03:49 +0000 UTComg i love everything about this its so sweet <3
schlimbo
2024-04-25 14:50:28 +0000 UTCI don't think he did anything different, I think he just gets to go home more grateful for his life, even if it's without his husband (symbolizing the acceptance phase of grief). The kid not remembering, idk...trauma warps memory? Alternate timelines? Maybe it was actually his husband as others are saying? Either way, it's sweet.
Mina K
2024-04-25 11:39:05 +0000 UTCMaybe that's hell
Buffy
2024-04-25 11:34:15 +0000 UTCi feel stupid cause i'm not sure i get this one🥹

2024-04-25 03:48:52 +0000 UTCSame
Burt Humburg
2024-04-25 02:47:14 +0000 UTCI think his sacrifice allowed him to get off the train.
Sponch
2024-04-25 02:04:51 +0000 UTCthere seems to be a little bit of a discourse (not that it's that serious) about whether the kid is him in the past or his spouse, but idk i think the real focus should be how wholesome this comic is. i love media that's really all about kindness in a strange world. and this comic glows with that <3
Ewemiz Insigne
2024-04-25 01:56:37 +0000 UTCWhat was your interpretation?
Rahni O'Sullivan
2024-04-24 23:58:40 +0000 UTChonestly don’t even think this was horror it was a really nice comic i liked it
adrien
2024-04-24 20:44:43 +0000 UTCIt’s intentionally vague ✨
Rachel
2024-04-24 20:30:58 +0000 UTCIt's not him as a kid it's his future spouse
Cheddarfrog
2024-04-24 20:04:23 +0000 UTCPerhaps his current time (without his partner) was his hell 🤔 I like your angle!
Quércia Araújo
2024-04-24 19:46:41 +0000 UTCBut when he gets off it shows the date as 2018. He goes back to his own timeline - perhaps because by helping himself as a young child, he does change the future and is therefore returned to his own time as though he never got on the train at all.
Harriet Tooley
2024-04-24 08:29:27 +0000 UTCDon't apologize for improving on what was already awesome bae
Axel Lisenstain
2024-04-24 07:09:59 +0000 UTCI’m with ya on that one.
Kam Kaiserman
2024-04-24 05:50:56 +0000 UTCI think I’m too stupid to understand this one. I get the kid goes back to his time, and the guy is in 2018. And the kid and the guy are the same person. But why doesn’t the guy remember being on the train as a kid? And did he do things different? Did he prevent the husbands death? I’m dying.

Savannah Ervin
2024-04-23 06:50:47 +0000 UTCThis was beautiful. I know what I feel the story meant and what the ending meant, but I’m sure it’s different for everyone. I love this so much.
Katlin Kerrison
2024-04-23 02:55:32 +0000 UTCThanks for another story that I can turn over in my head and ponder on. I love your ambiguous endings ❤️
Christine Lavallee
2024-04-23 02:49:08 +0000 UTCwas he in hell at the end?
Nova Stewart
2024-04-23 01:50:05 +0000 UTCi love that the men in black ii poster implies that's actually year 2002 and that it is indeed both of them's stop — the younger him and also his own, since he wanted to make things different for his own past self
Gemma Jara
2024-04-23 01:07:09 +0000 UTCJust like the kid! Lol
ShellBee
2024-04-23 00:44:47 +0000 UTCSo you changed the 2011 to 2018? Aww I kind of liked the thought of him going back in time to get a second chance with his husband. Still love the story!
Masumi
2024-04-22 23:39:28 +0000 UTCNo manches!!!! Lo ame!!!!
Sleepy_Ako
2024-04-22 23:16:50 +0000 UTCAlso like I know what I looked like as a child. So I don’t think that’s his younger self

2024-04-22 20:00:17 +0000 UTCOh this is amazing, worth the subscription again!! I subscribe every time I can’t wait for it to be posted on IG lol heartwarming
Myla
2024-04-22 19:57:32 +0000 UTCI loved this comic it may be one of my favorites that you’ve done. I love the horror style endings but this one having a lighter and more cheery ending definitely got me good. Amazing work
Anthony
2024-04-22 19:51:54 +0000 UTCLol it took me a second to figure it out. At first I thought maybe he was having an affair. Read it again and it didn't make sense until I went with oh right.
Francisco
2024-04-22 19:38:20 +0000 UTCLove it! Definitely felt like Darren Korb voicing the guy for some reason. Appreciate the extra movie poster work.

MaxLlt
2024-04-22 19:19:19 +0000 UTCI think you accidentally painted over one of his fingers on page 6. Just wanted to point that out in case you ever plan to publidh the comic in print like you did with previous ones :)
Jared Jäbät Scheren Izred Jed
2024-04-21 08:16:45 +0000 UTCThat gave me chills, thank you Adam.
Trisha
2024-04-21 04:03:16 +0000 UTCI heard a short story once, the moral was that everything shall pass, good or bad. This made me think that a lot of times in our lives things are not as bad as we think they are, and that it too shall pass and everything will be ok. ❤️
pricolatino
2024-04-19 15:27:48 +0000 UTClove this... at pg 15- when they stared at each other, I had a sinking feeling, thought they will both be trapped in an endless loop of going back, and moving forward - and forever regretting stuff. Love the inclusivity- "they", "not my wife". Him giving up his ticket to his younger self. Who knows what the future will bring?
Yixuan Chen
2024-04-19 06:37:49 +0000 UTCHe wanted to become a kid again but I guess the train can't de-age him so they make a kid version of him? He gives the ticket to his younger "self" along with knowledge that you can be gay and happy. I guess he was let off because the train completed it's deal with him? I'm not sure that's my theory
McKey McCrae
2024-04-18 23:47:50 +0000 UTCBecause he did give himself the ticket.🤷♂️ Time travel rules are what the story decides they are, I suppose.
Don Whiteside
2024-04-18 19:59:36 +0000 UTCHe doesn't say husband. He says not wife. Which I wouldn't quibble about except he also says "they died," not "he died."
Don Whiteside
2024-04-18 19:54:03 +0000 UTCI loved this but was definitely scared that it would be similar to your story of “half your treasure” and then the man coming home to half a wife… This one was so good. The kids cute blush at “not my wife” was adorable
ShellBee
2024-04-18 19:49:18 +0000 UTCI don’t understand how they can be the same character. If the boy doesn’t have a ticket to get off the train, how does he grow up to get back on the train and give himself a ticket to get off?
B Stern
2024-04-18 15:39:06 +0000 UTCWow, that was... really lovely. I was bracing for fear, and got heartwarming I'm really happy for that kid
skysyzygy
2024-04-18 13:38:17 +0000 UTCMy favourite story yet
Kells
2024-04-17 17:06:53 +0000 UTCAlso the phrase "only one person on the train at a time" is a hint that they are the same person.
Marianne Leblanc Dubois
2024-04-17 14:16:43 +0000 UTCThat was awesome. Adam, did you do the backgrounds too? I loved them.
RoshenDraws
2024-04-17 12:44:49 +0000 UTCI didn't expect this to be so wholesome, what a nice twist in the end.
Samuel Santos
2024-04-17 12:34:22 +0000 UTCThis was so good! Your comics just keep getting better and better, Adam. Can't wait to get my hands on your book!
Eddy
2024-04-17 11:51:45 +0000 UTCThis slapped. The kid being from 2002, and the adult’s destination having posters of Signs and MIB2 (which both came out in 2002) was a great touch, as well as “the kids at school call me a girl, and… other stuff” was something i definitely related to
Dumb DJ
2024-04-17 08:54:07 +0000 UTCUna historia de misterio y de ternura por el prójimo, me ha encantado . Gracias Adam
David
2024-04-17 07:02:02 +0000 UTCWhat a story !!!! Did he meet himself ??? 🫣🫣🫣 Also love the sunken express logo … nearly something else… very clever 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🎉🎉🎉
Sophie Riano
2024-04-17 06:02:56 +0000 UTCI know it’s horror, but it’s also thoughtful and lovely. You write real good dialogue. It sounds organic, like the way people talk. Thank you for sharing this!
Henry Lozada
2024-04-16 21:04:53 +0000 UTCI preordered your Bad Dreams book, but it was sent to an old address and now it’s out of stock 😫 Any idea when Amazon will have more in stock? Or am I out of luck?
Leslie Butenschoen
2024-04-16 20:45:08 +0000 UTCThank you for this. Such a beautiful, poignant tale.
Peter Wilsnack
2024-04-16 18:26:26 +0000 UTCI thought the kid was gonna turn into a demon whose job was too trick passengers into giving up their exit ticket 😶🌫️
Crystal4 Owen

Maestyle
2024-04-16 16:55:15 +0000 UTCThis was 0% horror and 100% EMOTIONAL why am i CRYING? I can't wait to get the book Adam, you've mastered your work so much over the last few years and I'm so stoked to see more!!
marybeth
2024-04-16 16:09:39 +0000 UTCI *think* that the constellation you're refering to as scorpio is actually leo. Some depictions don't show all the stars for some reason, but the very first one that pops up on google looks exactly it!
Kiki
2024-04-16 13:26:51 +0000 UTCThat was unexpectedly wholesome 💗
D
2024-04-16 11:52:45 +0000 UTCThis is amazing, Adam. Such an impactful story, beautifully illustrated. Also wondering if you have any NSFWs of your slender, blonde, widowed twink. Asking for a friend.
John Allen
2024-04-16 03:12:59 +0000 UTCI think getting stuck on the train, as it goes through weird tunnels filled with unknown creatures, is its own kind of hell. Though I think the first stop, in the year of Signs and Men In Black II, was for the older self, who wanted to go back to his childhood. There are no rules about _who_ carries the ticket, so the younger self could get out no problem. But yes, I agree that the older self's selfless act got his trip nullified without penalty.
Nicolas Demers
2024-04-16 02:15:04 +0000 UTC"1 ticket, 1 person, 1 roundtrip. It all checks out. No rules broken. But get the hell off my train for getting on twice" - said probably the train conductor.

Arkaan Semere
2024-04-16 00:13:14 +0000 UTCI mean, it’s an allegory about accepting yourself and life as it is and not living in the past, or daydreaming only about the future right? Live in the moment? To me both kid and adult were the same guy
Jennifer Ryan
2024-04-15 23:30:24 +0000 UTCThis is a masterpiece. You're a genius. Thank you so much for this... You have no idea what it did for me to cope with my grief. I wish I could have gotten on that train to tell my mum to get her f*cking exams done, no matter how she didn't want to... Eternity on the train would have been worth it.
MaB
2024-04-15 23:14:20 +0000 UTCThe boy wanted to go to the future, and the man wanted to go to the past. The boy got off in his present, which is the man’s past. The man got off in his present, which is the boy’s future. They traded stops 🥲

2024-04-15 22:54:57 +0000 UTCGosh I love this one; spooky but uplifting.
Ananisapta
2024-04-15 22:45:26 +0000 UTCi think his younger self's sacrifice of cash wasn't accepted because it was something he stole, it was his dad's, not his own sacrifice to give. which is why he got stuck on the train, instead of sent to hell; because there was still a chance in the future to correct it. and so then his future self gave his younger self a sacrifice of his own ticket, which corrected the sacrifice the boy didn't make in the past, and that's really what let the boy get off the train. ~~~~~ and his adult/future self, because he made another sacrifice, got a better deal than going to hell or getting stuck on the train. (remember, it said he wouldn't be let off the train if he lost his ticket, not that he'd go to hell if he didn't have it). he got to get off the train because of his sacrifice, and he got to end up right back where he was before-- which may have been miserable, but he's given the chance to start again, with a new perspective, knowing what he knows now. ////// honestly Adam, this is your best piece of work ever done to date. beautiful.

Starling
2024-04-15 18:35:39 +0000 UTCI think his younger self learns that it’s okay to be gay and that he doesn’t have to run away from bullies because there’s a future where what he wants is normal, from his older self. Because he gets to go home, it means the older self’s life is different; maybe his ultimate sacrifice is he never even gets to marry that husband because the butterfly effect was too strong, and so now he gets to see what his life is all about now, based on what his younger self did.

Grace 'Gengar' Soria
2024-04-15 17:13:16 +0000 UTCI can see why people think they’re the same person based on how they look, but the older one didn’t seem to have a bad childhood and the little one did. Unless he took the older one’s advice and was determined to have a good childhood after that. Hmm. I’m on the fence.
Rachel K
2024-04-15 16:59:01 +0000 UTCLauren that 2011 was a typo that Adam fixed

Jesse Jane
2024-04-15 16:09:19 +0000 UTCThe kid on the train is the adult's younger self. The adult sacrifices his destination by giving his younger self the ticket to go home. That sacrifice results in the adult getting off the train 7 years earlier than he got on (2011 instead of 2018) to be with his husband again.
Lauren
2024-04-15 15:40:18 +0000 UTCThe adult gets off the train 7 years earlier than he got on. I believe by giving his ticket to the kid, knowing he (the adult) can't get off the train now, was sacrifice enough for the train to take him to 2011 instead of 2018... likely to be with his husband again.

Jessica T
2024-04-15 10:45:45 +0000 UTCI interpreted it as him being returned to where he got on, because he had made an adequate sacrifice even if he no longer had the right to get where he wanted to go. Or alternatively, he decided in the end that was where he wanted to be because although losing his partner hurts, he didnt want it to have never happened.
Jest
2024-04-15 10:38:29 +0000 UTCThis was fun because, as soon you see the kid's eyebrows you realize they're the same person. When the kid says people call him a girl (and his grownup counterpart states he had a husband) confirms it. I think the adult version realized that he was talking to himself so he handled the ticket, so his past could treasure his childhood. The ending was interesting because he returns to where he departed. His life was already hell, so the train wouldn't take him anywhere else.
ProtoKun
2024-04-15 09:45:37 +0000 UTCYes, but it seems like they have the same intersts too. The grown up mentioned the gardens first (so probably the place he likes to go), and the boys face lightened up, like it's someplace he would love to go. And I assume they're both gay (the boy probably still trying to figure it all out)... Idk, maybe it's far fetched, but I think there are the hints.

Claire Nurc
2024-04-15 08:33:59 +0000 UTCI thought the same thing! From the "they" pronouns and "not my wife" and the kid going "they call me a girl and other things" I thought it might be them meeting their partner in the past who had run away because of transphobic bullying. Either way an incredibly profound and well written comic 💓

Minute_of_decade
2024-04-15 08:08:14 +0000 UTCThat's what I thought too, since they said only one person on the train. But if two people are the same person from different times, then one person is on the train.

2024-04-15 07:53:36 +0000 UTCThat sounds like the best interpretation so far. I was wondering if the kid was himself but the different hair color made me unsure.
Tom
2024-04-15 07:50:29 +0000 UTCI see it! And the main character might have realised it as well! By changing his past, he might have changed his future as well! Nice catch!

Ihazelynz
2024-04-15 07:34:56 +0000 UTCI think this one is quite profound... To me, it seems that the boy on the train is himself, but maybe he forgot that he got on the train ones before? By giving the boy his ticket, he gave himself a second chance?
Ina Bach Lindsman
2024-04-15 07:34:12 +0000 UTCI think they are the same person because of the "only one person on the train at a time".

Tom
2024-04-15 07:24:33 +0000 UTCit's not hell - it's life. lost and sadness is part of it. it wouldn't be real without it. There would be no joy without sadness .
Tom
2024-04-15 07:23:16 +0000 UTCNevermind - I just read it again, his desired stop was also 2002 (the movie posters at the stop are from 2002) so the stop in the end was not what he wanted, so kind of hell but in another sense. But was his desired stop forming because of the conversation with the kid? Or was it really his own? Still some questions open, but that does make it more interesting of course
Vi
2024-04-15 07:23:02 +0000 UTCamazing story and execution, your attention to detail (the „4lorn“ tag - forlorn - for example) is incredible, Adam! I interpreted the ending like this: this whole train ride is about a big sacrifice, so by handing the child the ticket, he may have found another way to get to his desired stop. It’s hard to tell though if the destination is indeed what he wanted (the year he left maybe when his partner was still alive? As we don’t know the month he left, we don’t know if the destination is before or after) or the opposite (the exact time he left, living hell without his partner).

Levi Burger
2024-04-15 04:52:11 +0000 UTCThis is beautiful 🥹 Thank you for sharing it! My interpretation is that because of his sacrifice he was able to return to his own time. Only now, after talking to the kid and helping him gain some perspective, the adult can be secure in the knowledge that he can get through this difficult time after the loss of his spouse (much like he got through growing up queer). And that his journey of healing may open the door for someone else going through the same pain later on down the line.
Amanda Arlene
2024-04-15 04:51:51 +0000 UTCIntriguing story! This is my reading: you have to go through an unhappy queer childhood to become a happy queer adult. Sending his younger self back and forcing him to go through that was the actual sacrifice that allowed him to go to a time when his partner was still alive.
