See review at volume 5 ( )

Really enjoying the mad science going on in this comic. ( )

So far this series has been at a good pace and leaves one thinking. I think the plot is nicely written. ( )

Sadistic as fuck, I think is the best way to describe this. As with the first volume, the art is fantastic, the characters are evil, and the plot is nothing even close to reality. The fact that the most sympathetic character is the guy with a swastika branded on his forehead tells you all you need to know about the sort of comic this is. ( )

The second installment of Hickman's extraordinary secret history begins immediately after the climatic conclusion of the previous volume. The physicists of the Manhattan Project meet their Soviet counterparts in a twisted vision of the Cold War. Hickman and artist Patarra seamlessly merge the eschewed visions of Oppenheimer, Einstein, Feyman, Fermi, Von Braun, Gröttrup, and Daghlian within the exceedingly cracked reality of the 1950s. Ritual sacrifices, orgies, super science, magick, violence, gods, and betrayal litter the ever increasing surrealist landscapes of The Manhattan Projects, Volume 2. The Manhattan Projects remains a must read for those that like their science fiction fun, off-kilter, and a hell of a lot different. ( )
