4.0

The second installment of Hickman's extraordinary secret history begins immediately after the climatic conclusion of the previous volume. The physicists of the Manhattan Project meet their Soviet counterparts in a twisted vision of the Cold War. Hickman and artist Patarra seamlessly merge the eschewed visions of Oppenheimer, Einstein, Feyman, Fermi, Von Braun, Gröttrup, and Daghlian within the exceedingly cracked reality of the 1950s. Ritual sacrifices, orgies, super science, magick, violence, gods, and betrayal litter the ever increasing surrealist landscapes of The Manhattan Projects, Volume 2. The Manhattan Projects remains a must read for those that like their science fiction fun, off-kilter, and a hell of a lot different.

The second amazing volume of the science, bad book of the new millennium. The battle for global supremacy is underway and the bad men of the Manhattan Projects will only accept one outcome: World domination

Collecting: The Manhattan Projects 6-10

My "What the....what? SERIOUSLY? Albert Einstein dressed like Conan? Who thinks this crap up?" continues in The Manhattan Projects, Vol 2.

My head. The oddness.

This is a very strange, very unfair comic book.

The onward march of mad bad science, Nazis and communists and capitalists uniting together to take over the galaxy. Everyone's horrible, except maybe Yuri Garagarin and Laika. It's the secret history of science on the rampage. Funny peculiar.
