Black Science, Vol. 3: Vanishing Point by Rick Remender

Can all these characters die already. The storyline started out so promising, but as the series progressed it just fell flat. None of the characters are likable and the children have become incredibly annoying.

Grant is back and the team continues on their journey through the Onion; as the story continue I really to pray that these horrid characters die and just the kids get tossed back to their mother and the end.

In volume 1 I was like okay, I can get into this; in volume 2 I was like hmm, yeah, no; but now I'm like please put this series out of it's misery.

FBP: Federal Bureau Of Physics Vol. 2: Wish You Were Here (FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics) by Simon Oliver, Robbi Rodriguez

Agents Adam Hardy and Rosa Reyes continue their searches, one for his father's stolen research, the other for the universe she was born in and was happy with her family.

The book was alright, it was engaging and captivating because hey who doesn't love the multiverse theory. A minute difference is all that separates one universe from another and so on; that's the stuff of sci-fi dreams.

The ending was very cliffhanger-y, so you will be looking forward to a followup.

Black Science, Vol. 1: How to Fall Forever by Rick Remender (Writer), Matteo Scalera (Artist), Dean White (Colorist)

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.
