Its sort of hard to find fault in anything in this series.  Its extremely well written, its drawn beautifully and the colours are fantastic.  Despite how brilliant series like Batman, Saga and the Walking Dead have been this year, for me, the Manhattan Projects blows them all away.  If you like what if stories, and this is a big what if, then youve got to read this book.

The Manhattan Projects may not be for everyone. Those who prefer the standard cape and tights fare may be put off by the level of weird the MP goes too. I like stories that go outside the box. Manhattan Projects doesnt just do weird for weirds sake. Every insane happening has a purpose. More often, that purpose is to raise questions about the world we live in today and how it parallels the marvelous sci-fi alternate reality the Hickman and Pitarra are creating each month. The Manhattan Projects is an incredibly fun, rewarding look at the fictional history of the United States. By using twisted versions of historical figures like Oppenheimer and Franklin Roosevelt, Hickman adds that little extra credibility to his story. It makes it easier for the reader to jump in and accept that sometimes the fantastic can happen in the mundane world. It just so happens that in the world of the Manhattan Projects, the fantastic happens on nearly every page. Read Full Review

If you love history, sci-fi, and comics, then there should be no reason you're not reading this series. There are some moments where it feels like Hickman lays on the crushing depression of Helmutt's situation a little too thick; one scene makes Lt. Aldo Raine look like he was taking it easy in Inglourious Basterds. It says something about Hickman's credentials as a writer that, for a brief moment, you feel sorry for a Nazi. Read Full Review

My interest has peaked again for this issue, and I certainly look forward to how the rest of this story plays out. Read Full Review

One of the great abiding weaknesses ofThe Manhattan Projectshas been that all the characters are generally unlikable (Pitarra's art contributes greatly to this, as he makes all the characters visually grotesque). This is true of Grottrup as well, who, while sympathetic and not exactly disgusting, is still a Nazi. Jonathan Hickman is an undoubtedly a good writer, but I question his ability to indefinitely maintain a series with no likable characters. While the Manhattan Projects has no scheduled end in sight, I'm confident not only that Hickman has an end in mind, but that it will come sooner rather than later. Read Full Review
