The Manhattan Projects

Vol. 2 Softcover 2013

Comic Book Collectable

As for the actual review: Jonathan Hickman, for those who don't know him, is a master of grand ideas and bold intricate plotting. His other books , , and his celebrated run on Fantastic Four and FF display a staggering imagination, and you really just have to strap yourself in and go along for the ride. In my experience, it always pays off. Manhattan Projects, Vol. 2 is no different. The series revolves around an alternate history of the men behind the Manhattan Projects (Einstein, Oppenheimer, Feynman, etc.) in which, frankly, they're all mad scientists run amok.

While Volume 1 was quirky, unusual, and vaguely unsettling in its eccentricities, Volume 2 is equal parts wild and exciting. Volume 1 involved a lot of setup, exposing the reader to the players in Hickman's grand world of science gone bad. Volume 2 introduces their Soviet counterparts, including the ubiquitous but suitable brain-in-a-jar-on-a-body, Yuri Gagarin, a talking space dog, and an ex-Nazi scientist who sheds new light on Wernher von Braun. Hickman remains witty as ever while exploring the idea of what happens when science reigns supreme.

And it's also just good fun.
