Black Science, Volume 1: How to Fall Forever
Black Science, Volume 1: How to Fall Forever | Rick Remender
16 posts | 26 read | 14 to read
"A must-read for Remender's fans or anyone thrilled by bizarre and compelling sci-fi." Starred Review - "Booklist" "There is a lot of meat to this book. Plenty for everyone to like, or dislike. The dangers are real. People die. The worldbuilding is solid even though we're jumping through different realities. Each of those worlds pops off the page and has their own distinct look and feel." - "Kirkus" "This is a solid adventure tale..." - "PW" Grant McKay, former member of The Anarchistic Order of Scientists, has finally done the impossible: He has deciphered Black Science and punched through the barriers of reality. But what lies beyond the veil is not epiphany, but chaos. Now Grant and his team are lost, living ghosts shipwrecked on an infinite ocean of alien worlds, barreling through the long-forgotten, ancient, and unimaginable dark realms. The only way is forward, through the madness of the lightning sea-swamp and a futurepast trenchworld, where the Sons of the Wakan Tech-Tanka wage never-ending war on the savages of Europe! How did the Anarchist League of Scientists end up this deep in the onion? And, who among them sabotaged the Pillar?

This third arc of Black Science, which features a techno-Roman aesthetic, was especially good. The characters, well, some of them, survive but not unscathed. Remender balances suspense and tragedy.

The contrast between Black Science #1-11 and #12 onward shows just how important the colorist is in comics. Moreno Dinisio colors Matteo Scalera's illustrations with so much more crispness and vibrance than Dean White.

Every issue of Black Science has clear dramatic stakes. Character growth emerges from pulse-pounding action. Remender stays away from likable protagonists, but Grant is complicated and dynamic. You never know what will happen next as the Pillar jumps the team through reality.

Black Science is a throwback to pulp sci-fi. It has weird creatures, a cast of space voyagers with competing interests, and a mad scientist protagonist caught between his quest for knowledge and his family.

What a crazy read!

This starts right in the middle of action without really giving a backstory about what's happening. As things unfold though it starts to come together.

I really love sci-fi that focuses on man's hubris. With science just because something can be done really doesn't mean that it should and the characters in this story definitely demonstrate that.

An explosive story with great graphics and I'm excited to see what happens next.

Interesting concept, though I‘m not sure I could even correctly explain what this is about if I had to. Scientists accidentally space jumping through the Eververse trying to get home with multiple timelines and aliens? Close enough. The art style was fine and I loved the designs of the “alien” creatures they came across. But this first volume didn‘t wow me or make me anxious for the next one. I might pick it up if I see it, I might not. We‘ll see.

A simple idea is at the heart of this series—just because we CAN do something doesn‘t mean we SHOULD do it. And if we do go ahead & do it, watch out for the consequences (the unintended/unforeseen in particular). Grant McKay is a brilliant scientist who has figured out how to travel through different dimensions. He was so fixated on that, however, he didn‘t stop to think about what might happen when he did. A good story with great art.

scowler1 Love Grant, consistently showing us that incredible people can also be total fools. 6y

You open this one & find yourself in the thick of things & it couldn‘t be more awesome. Filled with man‘s hubris about what we CAN do without stopping to think about if we SHOULD do it, this story follows Grant McKay, a scientist who has figured out black science & now travels through the Eververse with his team & his kids in tow. Gorgeous artwork, characters to love & hate, & an entertaining story make for a great comic. Can‘t wait to read more.

Last day of holidays. ❤️️

GrilledCheeseSamurai I. Love. Black. Science. There is only 1 more issue and it's over. 😭 7y
Clwojick @GrilledCheeseSamurai 😱Thank gosh I grabbed both volumes... I just assumed there would be 5-6 in the whole series. I feel like they could do a lot with it. Butttttt.... I do feel like it's pretty similar to Low. 7y
GrilledCheeseSamurai I mean one more single issue. It stops at 34, which means a total of 7 volumes. I like Low too, but I like Black Science ALOT more. 🙌 7y
Clwojick @GrilledCheeseSamurai ohhh. I panicked for a second. 😂 7y

Bought this a while ago on a whim but knew nothing about it. I ended up enjoying it a lot more than I anticipated! A mature science fiction graphic novel that deals with multiple dimensions in the eververse. This first volume ends on a small cliffhanger and I need to know what happens next!

Holy crap! This is one of the best comics I've read in a while. Right up there with the Saga series.

So, I know we've hit that point in the holiday season when you're not supposed to buy things for yourself, but I had to support my local comic store on Small Business Saturday........... #sorrynotsorry

This one was pretty good, not as riveting as some of the other graphic novels I've read but still good enough to continue with the series. Luckily for me, I believe I may be able to get the next volume from the library.
