Story by Jonathan Hickman
Art by Nick Pitarra & Cris Peter



Size: 24 pages
Price: 3.50

After seven straight super hero comics (I don’t review everything I read), the opening page of Pitarra’s art was exactly what I needed. I paused, readjusted my reading sensibilities, and turned the page, and…Hitler? If there is a trope in comic that puts me off as quickly as an appearance by Hitler, I can’t think of it. Luckily, I turned another page, and Feynman was there, and Hitler was briefly forgiven (the use of Hitler in this comic, not Adolf Hitler, himself…Feynman will have to appear in a lot more comics before Hitler achieves forgivability).

I was worried that with the introduction of inter and intra-world travel that was used in the first issue, that we would get a dose of Hickman world hopping in this series. That isn’t the case. This issue is as Feynman focused as issue one was focused on Oppenheimer. It was a great blend of humor, science, and character development. It’s not quite Pick of The Week material for me, but it was a fantastic read.

Story: 4 - Very Good
Art: 5 - Excellent
