Black Science

Tim Pendry

A rather disappointing work in both this volume and the succeeding one ( <a target="_blank" href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23093358-black-science-vol-2?ac=1" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...</a> ). There are somewhat hysterical and adolescent soliloquies and an over-reliance on far too similar themes in what are supposed to be widely different worlds as the group jump through the dimensions of the multiverse. The art work is, at times, excellent but the story often lacks coherence, far less than necessary to indicate the complexity involved in dealing with multiple worlds and time-lines. Such a story needs more fundamental clarity at its heart. The final criticism is that the characters are well drawn by the writer but not so well differentiated and positioned in the graphic presentation. A good idea with Lovecraftian overtones becomes a little unsatisfactory in the execution. In the end, it does not engage.

Interesting concept, but no development of the characters or the plot. Alas!

4.9/5

This is how to write characters. It's pretty difficult in comics to be able to relate or to sympathize with characters due to the lack of space. You would have to go through many volumes to be able to understand the characters. So what made this book different for me. They made the characters feel human, they make mistakes, they aren't these perfect fictitious beings that can only be seen in books and movies. Thats why I felt I appreciated the characters alot in this comic. 
Also, I am not a huge fan of science fiction, so i dont know how I enjoyed it, but the concept was really good to be honest. It is something that has been done before but not this way, which is why I enjoyed it. 
Art is AMAZING as well, which is always a plus. 
So I would recommend this if you enjoy graphic novels or scifi

After losing their leader to Pillar's random jumps through the Eververse, the Anarchist League of Scientists must learn to fight and survive.

Welcome, nowhere

4/5

I really loved the first volume of Black Science. It gave us characters that felt real, because they made mistakes. They weren't these perfectly molded characters that you could only see in books. They were believable. In this volume, although the characters are still the main focus, it wasn't as much as I would've liked. Half of this volume was just running away with no dialogue, just thought bubbles. It's not bad, but it didn't help forward the plot as much as the first volume did. Also it was a bit confusing, which was expected since you are dealing with alternate realities and what not. But all in all I like the series. The art is amazing as it was last time. Can't wait to read the next volume.

A bit confusing who was narrating in certain parts, and it had some strange character developments, but this world is just too interesting to stop here.
