MANHATTAN PROJECTS #2 |
|
IMAGE COMICS
(W) Jonathan Hickman (A) Nick Pitarra, Cris Peter
"ROCKET MAN"
In this issue, we learn about the secret role that the super-scientists of THE
MANHATTAN PROJECTS played in the fall of Germany during WWII. It's the hidden
history of Werner Von Braun, the rocket god of Deutschland and the only guy
before 1950 to have a super-cool robot arm.
One of the most anticipated new series of the year continues THE MANHATTAN
PROJECTS #2: ROCKET MAN! |
