review 1: I found this on somebody's list of must-read graphic novels, but I have to say I didn't get far into it. I've always enjoyed stories that play games with history, from BURR or FLASHMAN to FATHERLAND or even THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN... but increasingly over the years, I demand that the stories at least have some familiarity with the history they're toying with.Maybe I'm just getting crotchety in my old age, but when it's clear that the creators haven't done their homework, when their impressions of an historical era derive entirely from TV shows and comic books, when they don't even care that they're piling one absurd anachronism on top of another...Well, that just gets my goat.
review 2: Collects The Manhattan Projects issues #1-5If you don't know ... morewhat this book is about, here's a quick description of the contents: People have now heard that President FDR commissioned a secret project during WWII called the Manhattan Project. This project led to the creation of the atomic bomb. What people don't know is that it wasn't just one project being worked on. A team of scientists were developing a lot of projects centered around such things as alien life, parallel universes, and artificial intelligence (just to name a few). In this alternate history story, we see the scientists in action, and witness the effects of their discoveries. This book was surprisingly violent, so I didn't love that. I've heard that other people like this book, but for me, the style isn't what I am looking for right now. There were some interesting concepts, and I typically enjoy Hickman's writing, but this book wasn't a good fit for me. less
