review:
'Black Science, Vol. 3: Vanishing Pattern' brings us more of the dimension hopping Anarchist League of Scientists. Rick Remender's script is anguishing and Matteo Scalera's art is as good as ever.
This time around our group is stuck on a world trying to find their way home, just like in previous issues. Also, like in previous issues, the solutions seem to compound the problems. There are alternate dimensions of characters. There is a rampant disease on the planet they are on probably caused by our wayward travelers. Should they keep bashing their way along and try to get home or should they fix things here and try to first do no harm from here on out?
I love the characters in this series. No one is altruistic and pure except maybe the poor hapless kids stuck on this journey. And there are honest tensions these people have with each other. Add to it this crazy adventure where they see versions of themselves dying, and you have a comic that seems to be full of endless guilt and remorse for some of the characters. It's great SF fun with flawed characters making the kinds of mistakes that real world people might in the same situation. I enjoy the heck out of reading this series.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, Image Comics, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
