Sounds pretty good. Can't really turn down a new Hickman book. I wish they'd mention in this articles if the book is coming digitally as well as the order cut off as I'm buying everything new digitally if available but if it's not it may be the sort of series I have to get an order in on.

I missed out on Hickman during his original run at image before he jumped up to his marvel work, but it did give me the pleasure of buying all 5 of his image published books late last year and being able to plough through them all, and man that guy is out there. The way his books feel and read just push different buttons on my brain that other books don't, and probably buttons I didn't realise existed. To have that on a regular basis will be a beautiful thing. Can't wait. Image + my wallet = £0.

This book sounds great. Hickman's Marvel work is great, but I'm more excited about this book. I can't wait to pick it up, and it's a monthly too! Awesome!

I don't think I've ever read anything by Hickman, as I bugged out of FF during Millar's run. This looks pretty cool, though. And I'm all for making scientists the central characters of a story - some of them are pretty out-there in the real world, so just imagine what an alt-history version could portray.
I think I might be tempted to pick up the first arc of this one.Currently Reading: Fearless Defenders, Jupiter's Legacy and Young Avengers

Freaky looking covers. Sure to stand out from the pack.

I cannot wait for this. I'm not even reading the article, because I know I'm buying it already.

Hickman's Image stuff is an automatic buy for me.

I'll absolutely pick this up. However, I am disappointed to see that Pitarra will be doing the art. I didn't care for his style on Red Wing and assume I won't like it on this project. I'll give it a try though. If nothing else, Hickman weaves interesting stories.

This does look intriguing. But I wonder how long before the conspiracy angle gets us to the JFK assassination.

I think this will be one of the bigger Image on-goings this year. Looks pretty good, may even pick up two copies of number 1.
Check out this sweet comic coming in 2013!
