Black Science #7
Written by: Rick Remender
Art by: Matteo Scalera & Dean White
Black Science, from the beginning, has been a book that takes very few breaths. We’re constantly being hurled from one caustic situation to the next. It’s been a thrill-ride, to say the least. Issue #7 is no different. Instead of picking up immediately where we were left of at the end of issue #6 (smart move), we’re thrust along with Kadir and the gang into another precarious situation.
Rick Remender has smartly flipped the switch with this book. Kadir was initially a snide and wholly unlikable character. He was almost a caricature of a character you’re supposed to dislike. Now with him leading the book and narrating it we’re getting an entirely new perspective. It’s a great twist, and one I look forward to delving into more as the book goes on.
As deftly written as the book is, it wouldn’t be the masterpiece-in-the-making that it is now without Matteo Scalera and Dean White on art. The worlds they create are characters themselves and are constantly a pleasure to see, and go back to, even as we rush through the pages on an adrenaline filled adventure.
The only problem with jumping forward (to who knows when) is that there is a sense of displacement, which is probably intentional. There are many questions I have that I hope get answered.
It’s back, people. Black Science has returned and it doesn’t hold back any punches. Prepare yourselves for an emotional plunge and return to this beautiful multiverse.
