Nice! Thanks for the teaser Nick. I've yet to hear anything but did first print of issue 2 sell out yet?

Yeah theres another printing of that one I believe. And a third one of the first issue too!

Its a kick ass book... after the first issue I thought it would be awesome if Einstein never spoke, like silent bob, and was just always in the background doing amazing/creepy stuff with his special brain powers. Or if he only had 1 line every comic, with something really off the wall. I loved number 2 as it was though, cant wait to read #3.

Ha! That would have been cool. Issue four is super crazy and Einstein heavy...its THE issue of the first story arc.

AND Jonathan Hickman and I were lucky enough to land the ultra talented colorista Jordie Bellaire for the series. She takes over on Issue #3 and its gorgeous. Jordie currently colors John Carter at Marvel over Ramon Perez and other cool stuff....and she's crazy good...

I can't wait for more Einstein. He's so different from the image of Einstein in our history, so it makes for a very interesting read. I love the book and can't wait for issue three.

Hey Leo!

Gotta say, I'm absolutely loving this book so far.

the introduction to Oppenheimer was immense, the portrayal of all the chaotic personalities engulfing him on the inside and then his calm, composed image on the outside transcends the pages of a comic.
I know we're 2 issues in and we've barely explored other characters so it may be a little early to say, but judging on how Oppenheimer was portrayed Einstein and Von Braun (with a freaking Cyborg Arm) are going to be insane.

'Action, reaction - what more can you expect from the universe' - maybe one of my favourite lines in comics ever

Edit: Nick love what your doing! Was a big fan of Red Wing too... I know this isn't a suggestion box but team up with Hickman to do another Red Wing-esque Space/Sci-fi comic soon!! hehehe

Just got Issue 3 on The manhattan Projects and I've got to say this is one of the Best Books out right now. Jonathan's story is fantastic and Nick's art is beautiful. Thank u guys for creating this book and keep up the good work

Issue four is going to be sick. I can't wait. Getting to see more of Einstein will be awesome. Nick's art kicks ass and is the perfect fit for this book.

On a side note, I got to talk to Nick Pitarra, and he's a cool dude. It's great when comic people are grounded.

Finally got a copy of #4 (my LCS was shorted on their order) with #5 and got to read them both. Continues to be a fun read. But, wow, that was not the direction I was expecting the book to take. Went from crazy science to aliens in a hurry. And it seems the aliens will continue to play a large role. I guess it makes sense as a reason to rush towards space science development. Really enjoyed Oppenheimer's character in issue 5. Crazy but fun.

Yeah, I'm not sure the legs on this comic, or how far it can go... It's definitely going in the comedy type direction I think. I know I love Oppenheimer and Einstein's characters though.
