Black Science was cool. The drawing ranged from fantastical worlds to indistinguishable messes. The storyline was trippy and an interesting take on the multiverse theory. Without spoiling much, the idea is that there are multiple universes that exist as part of an "everyverse", which can navigated layer by layer like an onion. The characters range from teenagery anarchists to conniving neoliberal fascists to egotistical brats and more in an everyverse of unsympathetic character arcs, which presents the story in a sort of removed way that allows the reader to walk away with their own interpretation.

Spoiler for .:
I prefer the eucalyptus analogy that the series closes with, that each reality branches out of a similar structure.


I guess it's Alan Moore next then.
