The Manhattan Projects, Vol. 3 (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
I struggled a bit with the first two trades of this series, but considering how much I enjoy most of Hickman's work, I keep powering through with this. With the third book, my patience has been rewarded to a point, as this is finally what I was expecting from this series. Part origin stories, part plot development, it's as if the first ten issues were all a prelude to things that are happening.Really, really solid, and I'm looking forward to what's next. I'm coming around on this series really quickly and I think it's something more people should be reading. Somewhat disappointing. There's still plenty of clever ideas and weird divergences from established history, but this volume felt like nothing so much as treading water. Sure, there's action, but it doesn't feel like it adds up to anything. The one interesting chapter deals with the ongoing Oppenheimer Civil War. The art in this chapter is particularly good, and the implications for forward momentum are huge. It just took Hickman a while to get there.
