I wasn't nearly as engaged with this story. David takes a backseat to tell a larger political game with a LOT of repercussions. David, instead of using his brains is played throughout the story, yet still has a "happy" ending when he should have died many times over.
More action, death and destruction than in the previous two volumes, but also less humour. It does have a happy ending though. Two countries want to make peace, but factions in both countries want war because it is good for business.
An OK wrap-up to the story, but the pacing was rather frantic, and left me feeling more disengaged from the story than the previous two volumes. I appreciate the amount of work Hawkins puts into the background of his tale.
Son ciltte kaldığı yerden devam ediyor. Artık daha politik ve iş biraz daha sarpa sarıyor. Gerçekçi ve etkileyici. Tek sıkıntısı (view spoiler)[savaş makinesinin bir kere başladıktan sonra kolay durabileceğine inanması. Toplumların aklına savaş girdi mi, barış çok zor. (hide spoiler)]
The stakes really ratchet up in the conclusion of this trilogy. Unfortunately the storytelling also unravels. There are some leaps in the story that were jarring and I didn't care for the Hollywood ending. I mean, I did not care for it at all.(view spoiler)[David fucks up, in the most major way imaginable, yet everything turns out fine for him. It rang hollow, considering the build-up of death and destruction that had been escalating to a crescendo that results in... nothing. A weaponized virus,...
A good conclusion to a very good comic. It reads like an action spy thriller with a nerd, instead of James Bond at the helm. The art and the writing was solid enough to keep me interested and entertained. Some pages feelt like they were written by Robert H Heinlein. I'm sure that a lot of conspiracy nuts and tin foil hat enthusiasts will love this comic. That said, it was pretty science fictiony, in the strictest sense of the term. The world was believable and inhabited by interesting characters...
This is surprisingly well researched series that accurately describes real-world military weapons systems and technologies, either fully realized or in process. Whatever discoveries Hawkins couldn't fit into the main narrative, he proudly displays in the "science class" feature at the end of the book. This research adds realism to the political tension that the government lab-rat and protagonist Dr. David Loren must navigate. The story's entertaining, too.
I'll admit, this one is a bit weaker than the two preceding TPs, although it is just as riveting and entertaining, but I feel there are a couple instances where suspension of disbelief is required. Also, I didn't feel much character development happened in these stories, it was more just an extension of what's been established. Like I said, the story kept me gripped the whole time though and I'm still excited to see where it goes.
Still very much worth reading.
Good volume. But the payoff was weird and just kinda abrupt. I enjoyed the book though.
Even though the series ends here, the story is far from over. I don't mind the tech, in fact I welcome it and feel it to be realistic, but the jumping from one thing to another shouldn't be quite that easy. It feels as though the author crammed all that tech into a short story only because he could and the effect is less impressive than it could be. And don't get me started on the whole love thing. I'm least interested on the human element with all the arguably fun things that happen, so I could...
Volume 3 finishes the first 'season' of Think Tank by taking David out of the lab and putting him in the center of the action, a place he really isn't suited for. The stakes of this volume are sky high, blowing away the level of the previous volumes. David spends more of this book off his game, and things do not go well. For a book that so far has been mostly talking without a whole lot of action, this book goes in a completely different direction, successfully. The art is suitable if not memora...
David escapes again – and war breaks out between the US and ChinaOur genius-hero escapes from his captors into Shanghai with lethal consequences while hostilities break out between the US and China, manipulated by the military machine of both countries. This volume sees David reunited with Mirra and some resolution to the plot of the previous two volumes.The third of several volumes, this black-and-white series is written intelligently and well-illustrated. It is engaging and leaves the reader h...
The third installment of Think Tank is a clear step back. The art's the same, the dialogue is the same, but what's missing is a sense of scale. Huge things happen in this book but are only in a couple panels or briefly discussed and wrapped up off panel. Its a strange decision by Matt Hawkins who has done extremely well in the previous two volumes. Overall, it was good but could have been epic.
Reading this plus the notes on research is the best science and politics class you can take. Really smart and may as well lock it down for a Netflix series
