Black Science, Vol. 1: How to Fall Forever by Rick Remender
4.0
Story follows a group of scientists after device they made - so called Pillar - accidentally starts and pushes them to parallel universe. While this would mean confirmation of the theory behind the device everything does not go as planned - there are some passengers that are not meant to be traveling via device and device seems to be popping them around the parallel universes without control and even constantly into the middle of distant civilizations. And we all know how living organisms react to unexpected things.
Two things are of interest here. First, characters are far from likeable. Maybe kids (daughter and son of the chief scientist Grant, self-professed scientist anarchist (hence the name black (dark) science) are somewhat likeable (daughter was annoying rebel teen all the time but OK) but all others either harbor the secrets from the past or have hidden agenda. Second, people die here and as story progresses you cannot be sure who will be continuing from one issue to another.
Art is excellent, I especially like highly detailed panoramas of the mysterious parallel universes.
Recommended to all fans of SF action/adventure story.
