5 Reasons You NEED To Read Image Comics' Black Science

2. The Domestic Drama

Black Science Rick Remender
Image Comics

Grant McKay’s selfish pursuit of scientific kudos doesn’t just cause the tricky compromise of reality itself but also puts him at odds with his wife, son and daughter. Yes, our main protagonist is unfortunately a bit of a pitiless swine.

But who doesn’t love a good piece of ‘Mr Scrooge’ character development? And Black Science delivers on a highly emotive level. Volume by volume, readers have the privilege of watching Mr McKay transform from a self-centered git into a devoted father and husband who endures numerous hellish risks in order to to save his scattered family from the clutches of evil, and also bring semblance to their own mental strife.

But Grant McKay isn't the only fleshed out character on a journey. Every person in Black Science has a part to play. And as the saga grows increasingly more epic, readers begin to get a full scope of the journey and development of all concerned. Much like in real life, people change as does the surrounding situation, and so a profound sense of realism permeates throughout the book itself.
