Dr. Loren is back at DARPA after getting burned by his girlfriend. He's shut down his emotions and comes up with a plan to bring General Clarkson down by developing genetically targeted weapons and then exposing their use.Another strong volume even if the characters sometimes look like bobbleheads. It's really noticeable in the Military Dossier issue.
80 pages of story and an incredible 80 pages of filler crap...shame as it is a decent story but I can't invest in a 4 comic trade paperback...done with the series
Volume 2 isn't as focused as Volume 1, but it's still entertaining. It jumps over most of the repercussions of the first volume in exchange for setting the pieces up for future issues, while drawing out further conflict in the gray areas - is there technology that we shouldn't have, and what happens when it becomes reality? Loren is still front and center here, but there are threads being created by other characters this time; Mirra and Colonel Clarkson are the two other key actors. And again, t...
Great series with a solid premise and a wonderful character with David Loren.The second volume doesn't disappoint. The art style really fits the book and clearly a lot of research went into making this series feel fun, yet scientifically plausible. Highly recommended.
The events are first split into the current events following David's return to DARPA and his time spent with Mirra who was tasked by Clarkson to keep an eye on David. Of course, she fell in love with him and told him what her mission was, so he feels betrayed. Just like the school drama this comic always wanted to be. At least the headmaster - general Clarkson - is cool and described as being David's match in intellect, but with some much-nedded maturity.David goes all vengeful like the freshly
Better than part one but still not amazing. The characters are better fleshed out and I like the protagonist more. The author seems very full of him self with the piles of prose at the end of each section. Almost seems to be justifying his intelligence and research.
Not quite as good as volume one but still fun!
I give the actual comic storyline 4 stars and then gave it another star for all of the really cool bonus information about the actual science and tech that was featured in the story.
Another excellent installment in the continuing adventures of super-genius slacker David Loren, who was recruited by DARPA at age 14 and is now feeling trapped making weapons for the US. (They paid for his college at Cal Tech and gave him all the toys he desired, a nerd's golden cage.)When last we left David, he was on the run from DARPA, hanging out in the tropics with his hot girlfriend, and this book opens with him... back at DARPA, having been betrayed by her.What?That's the splash page, so
Hikaye gittikçe güzelleşiyor. Biyoloji üzerine çalışan bir bilim insanı bana ölümcül virüs tasarlamanın çok zor olmadığını söylemişti. Problem kendini korumakmış. Burada yepyeni bir saldırı düşünülmüş ve uygulaması çok iyi.
This is a great second volume. It further expounds on the character, David Loren. They go into more of what makes him tick. The go even more into what motivates the secondary characters, like Manish. They give Loren life changing situations, more conflict. Pick it up its worth it.
Nope, I made up my mind, fuck this guy. I'll read the rest of it but only for the side characters.
So, I think I mentioned last time that I had a hard time separating vol 1 and vol 2 in my head, because I read them together, but the more I think of it - I can. A funny thing happened procuring this. I ordered vol 1 via an unnamed vendor on Amazon and waiting the full month before they finally bothered to put the thing in the mail. I opened it up upon receipt and was a bit annoyed that it was actually vol 2 I held in my hands.What happened? Did I order the wrong one? Stupid me. I put the book d...
The second graphic novel about a genius weapons designer who grows a conscious. Accurate representation of physics equations, the writers really know what they're doing. Storytelling as an art for those who are curious about army secrets and weapons research and development.
David seemingly joins the EstablishmentOur genius-hero has been recaptured and is again a prisoner of the US military, creating weapons of all types. This volume deals with the repercussions of his work on all around him. Meanwhile we are lead to believe that he is plotting something else but he is still being manipulated by those around him.The second of several volumes, this black-and-white series is written intelligently and well-illustrated. It is engaging and leaves the reader hungry for mo...
4My lead up to the crossover event continues. Think Tank was a fun surprise for the first volume, even if it was uneventful. This volume is a little more tactical and doesn't have all the fun like the first volume. This volume is more about the long game and Hawkins throws a few curve balls along the way. Why the 4?This is more character and strategy, which I wasn't expecting after the first volume conclusion. I liked how Hawkin ripped the rug out from under the reader and essentially had us pla...
I have followed Think Tank from issue one, and I have to say it is opinionated, serious, too intellegent for it's own good and political. full marks 10 out of 10 for me.Think tank is not afraid to face up to the reality of our world, while keeping its comicbook credentials, I love how Matt and Rahsan have collaberated to bring us a story that not just open about America's position in the the context of a changing world, but bring us a humanity that is usually left behind in the usual techno thri...
A nice increase in the complexity of the characters, and much of what felt a bit outrageous in the first volume is explained in this one. Fun story, lots of tech, and a major character death. I like the end notes with all the explanations behind the tech and the politics.
Another fun installment in the science-based series by Matt Hawkins. Seeing David's changes in philosophy due to Mirra's deception is equal parts heart-breaking and enthralling. Hawkins creates a world where the government is full of different levels of evil but doesn't seem like conspiracy theory wackiness. The art is too basic at times but does the job. Overall, a fun book.
I'm loving this series more and more as the character arcs develop. While the main character, David Loren, is almost unbelievably genius, it's offset by a reasonable amount of arrogance that reminds me of some famous geniuses in the world. The science remains super poignant and well-researched, as are details like settings, conflicts and government policies. Matt Hawkins does a wonderful job researching and providing an extended bibliography of sorts in the back of the TP. Aside from the science...
