About the Author
Jonathan Hickman's THE NIGHTLY NEWS was accepted as a blind submission in 2006 and he hasn't looked back since, having masterminded several superhero comics and co-creating books like EAST OF WEST, THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS, and THE DYING & THE DEAD.
Known for his intricate plots and explosive payoffs, Hickman also masterminds the Marvel Comics Universe.
Reviews
Mad science has long been a prime subject for comics. Hickman’s latest series is about as mad as it gets, imagining that the Manhattan Project was really just a front for Oppenheimer, Einstein, Feynman, et al., to get into the really out-there stuff in Los Alamos. And while Japanese teleportation machines (Zen-powered by Death Buddhists), concurrent universes accessed by an enigmatic portal-stone, and shady bargains with warring alien races over humanity’s fate are all good and fun, Hickman’s strongest play is the way he tinkers with the historical cast members at the dawn of the atomic age. Oppenheimer, in particular, gets a disturbingly twisted portrayal, and who couldn’t love giving the Max Headroom treatment to postlife FDR? On the art side, Pitarra’s long-legged figures look like they could have just jumped out of a Where’s Waldo? book and into a zany, bloody conspiracy theory come to life. Determined to blow as many minds on as many different levels as he can, Hickman is onto something with this series. --Ian Chipman
