Hickmania #6: The Manhattan Projects (W/ Celice B!)
Hello and welcome to Comic Book Herald’s Hickmania, a series running through 2022 where we’ll be reading and analyzing the creator-owned works of writer Jonathan Hickman, from his debut The Nightly News through to his most recent output. We’ll be reading one creator-owned work a month through 2022, and each month I’ll release a new analysis with a new guest discussing the comic!
Today we’re talking The Manhattan Projects and I’m joined by Celice B! We’ll analyze the work in depth, so expect spoilers!
