Been reading since number one; Remender's name was enough to get me to subscribe as I had just discovered Fear Agent.
BlackScience ain't funny; it ain't Fear Agent; it is Fantastic!
Frankly I was completely baffled for the first few issues; how alienating to find Grant suddenly everywhere; it's like I am in the middle of a David Lynch movie. But, by issue six I discovered that this is exactly how Grant must feel, and all the dimensionauts. Suddenly it's meta (you can claim it if I can find it)!
I was unsure about Scalera's pages, too, but after recognizing Grant as ape and as praying mantis, I was convinced. At first panels seem filled with violence and chaos, and they are, but it reads. What I see is what I am supposed to see and how Scalera makes it work so well I will never know.
This is great science fiction with a frantic and exhausting pace; when will they get a little rest? And being lost in infinite worlds is only half their trouble; the rest is being human!
I don't know how much you guys still got in ya, but I intend to read it all. Thanks for a great time!
