On this season of Storied Arcs, Mike and Alex are exploring the limits of science and morality as they get ready to cover The Manhattan Projects by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra from Image Comics. The guys previously covered writer Jonathan Hickman with his book The Nightly News and letterer Rus Wooten when they discussed Extremity, so in this episode, they take a look at artist Nick Pitarra and main series colorist Jordie Bellaire (who they somehow haven’t covered before), as well as the other artist and colorists who contributed to the book throughout its run. Then they give a spoiler-free pitch for the comic, which asks the question- what if the minds what developed the atomic bomb were actually brought together to do something sinister. You know, besides develop the atomic bomb.
We kick things off with The Manhattan Projects Volume 1: Science Bad (issues #1-5), so pick it up wherever you get your comics and join us back here again next week!
