Credits Grade: 8 Einstein and Feynman find an alien with four brains. Later, that alien escapes, interrupting an interrogation of General Groves.I've been meaning to keep up with this series better, but as it is I'm jumping in at a random, newish issue after an unfortunate hiatus. Though, having read the first several issues, I had a pretty good grasp on the world and some of the characters. All that being said, I'm loving where this series is currently. The alien is hilarious. Heads are being lopped off everywhere (humorous, not gorey), and the way the alien speaks only makes it funnier. I really like the initial meeting with Einstein, and Einstein's "solution." More than that, I like when the alien interacts with General Groves while the general is hyped up on truth serum. The interrogation of the general is just as funny as the rest, partially because of how much serum he took before getting silly. The art continue to be strong, with nice detail, recognizable characters, and creativity. I like that the opening on the alien planet is entirely in blues and reds. The rest of the art is nicely colored as well. It's goofy, but there's an intelligence behind it, and necessary for following the overarching story. I like that. It makes it fun escapism. I will definitely be reading more! Written: February 1, 2014
