After discovering a fighter jet within a temple whose construction date surpasses that of Stonehenge, Corbin Quinn and Danny Reilly use this discovery to perfect their dream project: a working time machine. After months of research, they succeed in their efforts, making history, literally.

Following a successful test that brought back high quality footage from the UsefulNotes/AmericanCivilWar, Quinn and Reilly go ahead with a manned flight, with themselves as the first time-travelers. Crafting "chronosuits" using the same design as their time portal, Quinn and Reilly prepare to go back in time. Expectedly, things go wrong and Quinn is seemingly lost. Reilly, loyal friend that he is, jumps into the portal to save his pal, only to find an anachronistic mess of a time period where Quinn is king.

The two then decide to give the timestream [[TemporalParadox the middle finger]] and HilarityEnsues.

''Chrononauts'' is a four-issue ScienceFiction Action-Comedy comic miniseries written by Creator/MarkMillar and illustrated by Sean Murphy. If you haven't guessed yet, the series decides to forgo the usual worries about time travel paradoxes and decides to have fun with the fact that the main characters have time machines.

!!Contains examples of:
* AnachronismStew: In '''''[[UpToEleven spades]]'''''.
-->'''Reilly''': Dude, there's a gang of samurai riding a tank. We can't leave the timestream looking like ''this''.
* BittersweetEnding: PlayedForLaughs. Quinn gets to fix everything he ever wanted while Reilly unfortunately discovers that a reporter he was sleeping with before the time travel is now married to the experiment's head of security with multiple children. One of them [[GroinAttack punches him in the dick]].
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: In the scene described in IsThisThingStillOn, the following panel is that of a bunch of nuns recoiling in shock and disgust. Meanwhile, [[CovertPervert the priest with them is returning Reilly's finger guns]].
* IsThisThingStillOn: Averted. Reilly is fully aware that his comment about Quinn getting laid is being broadcast on live television.
* TheOneThatGotAway: Rachel, Quinn's ex-girlfriend.
* ReallyGetsAround: Quinn becomes quite the ladies' man after his [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome offscreen]] time traveling adventures. He has to ''keep a chart'' to keep track of all of the women he got with.
* RedOniBlueOni: Reilly red, Quinn blue.
* RefugeInAudacity: The things Reilly and Quinn do via their time traveling. For instance, visiting Jesus Christ during his birth and giving him a cross as a present.
* RuleOfCool: The series ignores the catastrophic consequences of the main characters' reckless time traveling in favor of showing just how cool having the ability to time travel is.
* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: After realizing how much they've screwed up the timestream, Quinn and Reilly get to work on setting things right again. Quinn personally fixes all the problems of his own past by repairing his relationship with his girlfriend and ensuring his father is cured of his alcoholism.
* StableTimeLoop: Yes, [[TimeyWimeyBall surprisingly]]. Reilly and Quinn are being observed by past versions of themselves so they can immediately win the game they are currently playing.
* TheStarscream: Sarvar, Quinn's captain of the guard in Samarkland
* TimeTravel: Duh.
* TimeyWimeyBall: The series does not give a shit about the problems arising from screwing around in the past, i.e. defeating the English in 1314 Scotland using tanks and uzis.
* TrueCompanions: Reilly and Quinn truly do care about each other as best friends. The only reason why Quinn kept his tracker on was so Reilly could join him on his fun.
* WhoShotJFK: Nobody. Lee Harvey Oswald missed his chance when Reilly and Quinn come speeding into Dallas with a mook on their car. Said mook ends up getting the bullet.
-->'''Oswald''': ''Crap!''
