MANHATTAN PROJECTS #1 |
|
IMAGE COMICS
(W) Jonathan Hickman (A) Nick Pitarra, Cris Peter
"INFINITE OPPENHEIMERS"
What if the research and development department created to produce the first
atomic bomb was a front for a series of other, more unusual, programs? What if
the union of a generation's brightest minds was not a signal for optimism, but
foreboding? What if everything... went wrong? Welcome to THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS,
a brand new, ongoing, monthly comic from the creators of THE RED WING. Brought
to you by award-winning writer JONATHAN HICKMAN and possibly the best new talent
of the year, NICK PITARRA, THE MANHATTAN PROJECTS is a look at history through a
darker, much stranger, lens. |
