The madness is coming together in a wild, sci-fi retelling of 20th Century science. Oppenheimer was devoured and absorbed by his insane brother, Einstein is a cynical agent with a gun, the list goes on. Threads tighten to better follow, but it's still damn erratic and damnably fun.

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.

The second amazing volume of the science, bad book of the new millennium. The battle for global supremacy is underway and the bad men of the Manhattan Projects will only accept one outcome: World domination

Collecting: The Manhattan Projects 6-10
