Things were wild and then they got wilder, and now weird is just the standard, so it all makes sense. It's just a rambunctious, chaotic alternate history of mid-20th Century science, with all the big names out of control and insane / alien / dimension alternate / glowing skeleton / etc. Take all the heroes and give 'em villainous strangeness.

What if the research and development department created to produce the first atomic bomb was a front for a series of other, more unusual, programs?

Should be subtitled: Things Get Batshit Insane. This was a really fun read, can't wait for the next compilation!

With the world in their pockets and the stars in their reach, the mad, bad scientists of the Manhattan Projects take bold new steps into the future - rockets and bio-sciences and fuels, and one secret project the Oppenheimer isn't talking about except among himselves. But there's an alien in their midst and the US government that doesn't like Commies and Nazis in their science soup. Depraved science and scientific violence and psychic civil war in a scientist's head all rage, and that poor little dog boldly going where no dog has gone before. This comic does more or less the same.
