First Black Science Volume to hit the three mark...

NOOOOOO!!!!!

Well it was bound to happen. I enjoy Black Science for what it is. I think it has broken characters and mixes them up very well. I also enjoy the art a lot, which is a surprise, because I usually hate art that tries too hard to be "too" different.

This volume is really about your past and accepting your future. Which for the most part, I love the idea. We all have secrets, scars, that form who we are today. We all live to be a better self of our past. So to see Grant's past, both childhood, and adult life, was interesting. I really enjoyed the second half, as getting closure on Rebecca was needed big time.

On the lower half of my ratings is the first half, which felt like a acid trip. I got Grant Morrison vibes, with drilling your mind with the same fucking thing and theme over and over again. As I've posted many times, Grant is usually a man with great ideas but shitty execution. This is what I felt reading first half of this volume. Neat idea, but done horribly. It should have been a single issue that was dragged nearly 3. I got the point by the first issue, sometimes less said the better.

Overall though I still dig this series for the sheer insanity that comes with it. It sounds like the next volume will kick this series back into high gear, which would make this "okay" volume fine as long as this is the weakest it'll go.
