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! Brought to you by award-winning writer Jonathan Hickman and possibly the best new talent in the industry, Nick Pitarra, The Manhattan Projects is a look at history through a darker, much stranger, lens.

Collects The Manhattan Projects #11-20.

5.0 out of 5 stars trippy alternate history tale of what happened with the greatest scientific minds of the 20th century after WWII
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2016
Crazy, trippy alternate history tale of what happened with the greatest scientific minds of the 20th century after WWII. Answers the question what would happen if Einstein and Oppenheimer were mad scientists left to their own devices to create whatever super science they wanted.

Received an advance copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Book was still wrapped in plastic, but bottom-right cover corners (front and back) were deteriorated and worn. Especially the back cover. Didn't notice until return date had passed. My bad....

4.0 out of 5 stars A group of famous scientists gone mad have strange adventures in an alternate, weird world.
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2016
'The Manhattan Projects Deluxe Edition, Volume 2' by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra collects the graphic novel volumes 3 and 4 and is comprised of issues 11-20. That a series gets a deluxe edition should tell you that this is a well reviewed or popular series. As you read, you should keep that in mind.

The series is about a group of famous nuclear scientists who get together with other famous scientists and generals. There goal is to take over the world, naturally. So, you have famous names like Einstein, Fermi, Feynman, Oppenheimer, Von Braun, Gagarin, and even Laika the space dog. Some are merely irradiated skulls in spacesuits, some are degenerating before our eyes, some are twins, and some might even be aliens.

If it all sounds pretty strange, it certainly is. You need only see chapters on the civil wars between Oppenheimer and, well, Oppenheimer, with huge armies or red and blue squaring off.

It can be pretty maniacal and disjointed and nonsensical at times, but this is a world where Einstein and company are mad scientists. It reminds me a bit of the Walter character from the television show Fringe, but on a huge scale. Also, there is no way any of this could work in any other medium. It's an odd series, but I like it.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Image Comics, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Admirably creative
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2016
This edition collects issues 11 to 20 of The Manhattan Projects. Some of the geniuses at the various Manhattan Projects have relocated to the moon, where their objectives are running into a slight roadblock -- aliens who want to destroy science. Einstein is the most aggressive of the geniuses, quite the opposite of his gentle image. Fermi is the strangest, if you don’t count Harry Daghlian, who isn’t quite alive after a radioactive mishap. Feynman never stops eating and, as you might guess, is the funniest. Werner von Braun loves his rockets. Maybe my favorite character is Laika, the Russian dog, who seems to have learned how to talk. But Oppenheimer ... you can’t trust that guy.

Eventually the geniuses are either traveling through dimensions so they can dissect alien brains, or mucking about at the center of the Earth, or sitting in jail. The incarcerated geniuses owe their captivity to General Westmoreland and President Kennedy, who has taken a break from partying with woman and cocaine. Westmoreland is so crazed that he’s awesome.

Of course, scientific geniuses can’t resist playing God, and that desire animates part of the story. The whole “advanced technologies are indistinguishable from magic” notion gets some creative play here. A couple of sequences that take place in not-time, involving the warring imaginations of the Oppenheimer brothers, might also be a key to the story, or they might just be too bizarre to understand. The twin Einsteins are also a bit baffling, but it’s all fun. It’s impossible to predict where this is going, and that’s part of the fun. I admire the creativity that went into this endeavor.

The art is weirdly appropriate. In particular, I love the faces.

Inicialmente, quanto a edição, apenas elogios. Ótima qualidade, materiais extras. Vale a pena, pra quem gosta de "embelezar" a coleção, gastar um pouco mais com esta edição capa dura.
Quanto a história, o ritmo aumenta, twists acontecem, e vc permanece ávido pela 3ª edição.
Pra quem gostou da 1ª, não vai se decepcionar!

The Manhattan Projects es uno de los comics más indefinibles publicados actualmente. No obstante, si quieres salirte de lo habitual, y te gustan las historias de conspiraciones, tecnología y ciencia-ficción, no busques más. La edición es en tapa dura, y el precio es mas que correcto.
