I somehow managed to space on the December issue of Black Science and by the time I realized it, my shop had sold out of the run. Luckily they had gotten a few more in by last Wednesday when I went in for issue 3; so I guess you're getting a twofer. The second world the dimensionauts have landed in features meched-out Native Americans fighting WWI-ish Europeans in a reverse colonialism type deal. We also discover a little more about the Pillar and characters through the use of flashbacks set before the ill-fated 1st jump. There's a bunch going on, but I don't wanna spoil anything. Between the great art, solid writing, and rad premise, Black Science is quickly becoming on of my favorite books.
The premise behind Furious is interesting, the first superhero manifests in modern times and must deal with the ramifications of being violent, masked vigilante in the age of twitter, smart phones, and instant media. Unfortunate the comic itself doesn't manage to pan out very well. The dialog is flat, the story is choppy, and the art is pretty meh. It's not terrible, it just feels like everything about Furious could have been done better. I'll probably scope out the next issue, but I suspect after that...
