Danger like Christian, an ex-bible sales-man in the middle of a crime spree fueled by dirty sex, meth, murder, and Christian Rock, while being pursued by a biker gang and fanatical Trekkies who are out to kill him.

comment
Utopia Justifies the Means: Christian doesn't want the time loop to end as he sees it allows people to do whatever they want and that no one can truly die since they can relive time all over again, so long Grant (the source of the time loop) remains alive.

The Reveal
 The Field (Comic Book) / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: In issue two. 'The Source' is a scientist named Grant who was part of a scientific experiment to create a time machine that had gone awry resulting in a shrinking, temporal causality field which has a Groundhog Day effect on a whole host of people. In issue three, according to Christian the time loop is getting a little shorter than the time before. Grant is the source of the time loop as he had deliberately swallowed an integral component of the time machine at the behest of a dying colleague to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. The Tomorrow Men and The Smoke Eaters are eager to kill Grant in order to end the time loop.

comment
Villain Has a Point: Adam, the leader of the Smoke Eaters, is opposed to Christian's idea that the time loop grants an anarchistic paradise where the consequences do not matter, in which he points out that it only causes people to be stagnate and extremely unease to live the same day repeatedly.

Sociopathic Hero
 The Field (Comic Book) / int_9ac6b0c1
comment
Sociopathic Hero: Christian is very protective and close of 'The Source' yet very violent and murdering people on the whim. He isn't really bothered by the killings is because the murdered people will come back in the next time loop (as long 'The Source'/Grant remains alive).

Foreshadowing: Christian vaguely explains to 'The Source' how he had already found a "loophole" to indulge his vices without suffering the consequences. That "loophole" is a time loop.

Death Is the Only Option: The only way to end the time loop is to kill the person ('The Source'/Grant) responsible.

comment
Mêlée à Trois: The Smoker Eaters and Tomorrow Men are hellbent on killing 'The Source' to end the time loop but they are opposed to each other, as the Tomorrow Men claimed the Smoker Eaters are working for people who want the component (that is inside Grant) causing the time loop and exploit it for their own ends.

Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Despite being a violent sociopath Christian doesn't like swearing at all and this is best demonstrated when he pistol whipped 'The Source' for profaning.

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"
 The Field (Comic Book) / int_d7b34c31
comment
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Every characters calls the amnesiac man 'The Source.' It is later reveal after 'The Source' held Christian at gunpoint that his real name is Grant. He is called 'The Source' is because he had swallowed a machinery component, the source of a destroyed time machine, that is causing the time loop.
