This book collects BLACK SCIENCE issues #1-6
Think Reed Richards if he was a prick and ran around on
Sue Storm. Grant McKay is a super brilliant, genius scientist who has done what
every science geek out there dreams of [not time travel, but close]; he has
created a way to travel through the multiverse [suspense music here], they call
it the onion in the book, but I’m sticking with multiverse.
For 10 years he has been neglecting his family and working
like mad, for 8 of those years he has been cheating on his wife [this always
comes into play later on in any series, so keep it in mind]; McKay has been building
the Pillar, the device that makes it all possible.
But, something has gone horribly wrong [can’t say I didn’t
see that coming] and now McKay, his two kids, his mistress [also a scientist on
his team], his team and the corporate guy are all stuck; travelling from
universe to universe with no way home.
The book ends in a cliffhanger to get you hooked; but the
reason the book lost points with me is that in the first 10 pages they kill of
two members of the crew, McKay keeps going on and on with his kids about how he’ll
get them all home and everything will be okay in their family, and in the
meantime while his kids are one room down, he’s with his skank.
The main character is too unlikable for my taste; but
other than that, the concept is great, it has infinite potential and the
illustrations are just WOW.
Rating 4 out of 5
