Black Science #13
Writer: Rick Remender
Artist: Matteo Scalera
Colors: Moreno Dinisio
Letters: Rus Wooton
Family is everything. It's easy to forget that. When you're swept up in the minutae of day to day life, remembering to embrace and be grateful to have a family, whether it's biological or not, can be difficult. Black Science despite being an epic science-fiction adventure story, is first and foremost about family, and it's easy to forget that too. I know I did. Thankfully, this newest issue is heavy on family dynamics. Whether it's husband and wife, mother and daughter, or apprentice and master, family is present in almost every page of this book.
Saying that the book is heavy on family dynamics and drama doesn't mean that it's a slow, however. The book packs a wallop with action. Centurions roam a futuristic virus-ridden future past. It's interesting, fun, and now that the plot seems to have more direction it's a much more enjoyable read over all.
I've been saying this since the first issue, but Matteo Scalera's art has been incredibly versatile and is essential to bringing the Black Science onion universe to life. Every location feels different and unique. Nothing is re-hashed despite the idea of re-treading and re-circling. The action is as fluid and dynamic as writing as well. The Centurions are designed perfectly. Very cool and intimidating. I can't imagine a more perfect artist for this book. But as I've said before, Scalera's art is elevated even further by color. Dean White, a master of his craft, was replaced recently by Moreno Dinisio. The last issue I noticed that the color seemed a little inconsistent with White's previous work, but this issue finds Dinision finding himself in good form. He's a great replacement, adding his own flair to the story, but still paying tribute to the palettes and ideas already present from White's work.
Black Science is beginning to show it's hand a little, and it's all the more better for it. With the direction it's heading, driven by the talented team of Rick Remender, Matteo Scalera, Moreno Dinisio, and Rus Wooton, everything is golden right now. Let's just hope it doesn't run out of gas.
