Here Hickman has fictionalised and re-imagined The Manhattan Project with added pseudo-science and created the strongest first issue since Y: The Last Man. Such was its strength I ran out and picked up The Red Wing at the first available opportunity. Pitarra’s work, which has a real talent for capturing facial emotion, has a style akin to a relaxed Frank Quitely. A particular highlight is the pairs' imagining of Enrico Fermi, which is amusing, given his paradox, as is the straight-man routine of Feynman, given his well known fondness for the bongos. Incredibly inventive with the potential to be epic.
