Written by Jonathan HickmanArt by Nick Pitarra
The staff of the Manhattan Projects, under the leadership of General Leslie Groves, have effected a merger with their Russian counterparts, and have escaped the American government's attempt to stop their machinations towards independence. What's left to do then, but to figure out who is really calling the shots, and go after them.
In this issue, Groves and his team do just that, acting on information they gain from the artificial intelligence that is all that is left of dead President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. They learn that their enemies include the luchadore head of an international banking cartel, a very old Egyptian with mystical powers, an overly corpulent man who controls all emerging markets, and of course, current president and Freemason Harry S. Truman.
It doesn't take long for the Projects crew to deal with all of these guys, and it is a lot of fun watching it happen. Hickman's taken his time setting up this series, and with each new issue, he's introduced some pretty wild ideas. Now, he's put the Projects in a new position of power, and has guaranteed that this book, which plays with historical figures with great irreverence, will continue to be a terrific read for a while to come.
