Black Science

Summary

“Black Science” is a fast-paced science fiction adventure about discovery, obsession, and the unintended consequences of ambition. The story follows Grant McKay, a brilliant but reckless scientist who creates the Pillar, a device that allows travel between alternate dimensions. Believing he can break scientific barriers for the betterment of humanity, Grant instead hurls himself, his team, and his family into an uncontrollable journey across the Eververse. Each new world introduces strange ecosystems, civilizations, and threats, from warlike frog-people to dystopian futures, making survival a constant battle. At its core, the series is about family and responsibility. Grant’s fractured relationship with his children and his team underscores the personal cost of his hubris. He’s a visionary undone by arrogance, constantly trying to repair the damage he’s caused. The multiverse is both playground and punishment, reflecting back his flaws in increasingly dire ways. While filled with pulse-pounding action, the story is also an exploration of redemption—whether a man so deeply flawed can fix the mess he’s created. The art is vivid and chaotic, mirroring the dizzying scope of the multiverse. Each issue delivers surreal landscapes and alien societies that challenge the characters’ morals as much as their survival skills. “Black Science” is a cautionary tale disguised as pulp adventure, showing how the thirst for knowledge and escape from boundaries can unravel lives. It’s equal parts survival story, interdimensional road trip, and character study of a genius brought low by his own choices.
