Black Science #1 (2013) comic shop exclusive

Rick Remender is, once again, unleashing his talents upon us readers, pure and unfiltered, with the freedom that comes with independent publishing. With a promise of constantly evolving settings, artists Matteo Scalrea & Dean White have their work cut out for them in keeping up with such an imagination. Luckily they seem to be able to do that without breaking stride, offering some of the richer environments seen this year. Using a darker color pallet, the book stands out among the already lush indy releases this year. Remender’s story telling starts out swift, and turns fast. A closer look at one of the covers will reveal the resourcefulness of our hero, Grant McKay. He is a scientist, after all. We are not given a ton of information about what’s going on, but we get to see what one of story’s goals is. A simple desire to go home. This series has promise, it should be a wild ride, and I can’t wait to read the next part of it.
