About the series
In the alternate-history universe of The Manhattan Projects, where the scientific minds behind the atomic bomb are secret, superpowered megalomaniacs, this 2015–2016 Image miniseries follows a new, fractured branch of the organization. Written by Jonathan Hickman and drawn by Nick Pitarra, it sends a desperate, rogue faction into the far future to escape a collapsing Earth, only to find that their own monstrous legacy has already infected the cosmos. A tense, four-issue coda to Hickman and Pitarra's acclaimed run, it expands the series' existential dread from Cold War paranoia to a chilling, star-spanning scale.
