Black Science, Vol. 1: How to Fall Forever

Okay, so I went on a small comic book binge the other day, picking up titles that I've been wanting to get my hands on for a while now. And this was definitely something that's been on my radar. I had fairly high expectations for Black Science because the artwork here is fucking beautiful. I mean, take a look at this:



The coloring is just stunning, especially when you see it in print...unfortunately, the story was a little bit lacking for me. It wasn't bad, and there were definitely really great moments in the comic, but there were other moments where I was just like, “What the fuck?”. Plus, I really did not like the main character, Grant. And it's not like you need to like the protagonist in order to enjoy a story, but this guy is a douche.

Still, I am interested in picking up the next volume, if only for the artwork.
