Think Tank #6 Review


Is this comic book that offers science, sarcasm and logic still delivering a compelling enough adventure to take away your proverbial dollars?  Read on to find out.

The official description from Image:

Slacker Genius Dr. David Loren can hack into the military industrial complex computer network to reclassify 3-Quinuclidinyl Benzilate from a class 2 pathogen to a class 5 pathogen. He can disassemble the micro-power device of Dr. Sejic to appropriate its extensive battery life for his surface thought reader. But can he save himself from the confines of his own mind?

Following the controversial nature of last month’s issue as well as the current state of Dr. David Loren and his apparent dedication to his job, the creative team offers up a compelling continuation. As plot points lead to potential problems or fascinating solutions as a project that’s dedicated to literal genocide by expert precision successfully completes its its testing phase.

Matt Hawkins once again pens the script, and his unique voice gives this world that right amount of wit to keep some rather disconcerting concepts hopelessly engaging.  That’s what makes the literary realm of this series work as the seasoned author yields something special that births to a fascinating but somewhat expected cliffhanger.  From the dialogue to the story I was thoroughly impressed by the sum of this narrative’s individual parts.

The art by Rahsan Ekedal continues to be a source of visual splendor as he effortlessly continues to build a world populated by detailed characters and backgrounds.  His pencils evoke emotions, actions and scientific explanations quite well as the talent successfully plays in this realm.  The whole of this package comes together in a brilliant unison as the written word combines with work of the illustrator. In short, the work on display is impressive and I have not complaints about it.

Think Tank #6 is an outstanding comic  that’s sure to entertain its audience while it offers enough nuggets to beg the question: why aren’t more people reading this book?   For being an intelligent piece of fiction born from the work of its creative team this title comes highly recommended.

4.5/5
