What I love about Think
Tank #4 by Matt
Hawkins and Rahsan Ekedal is the background material and Matt
giving us links about some of the stuff he throws at you during the course of
the story.
Our story is about David a super genius the military uses to
make weapons. He has grown tired of being someone whose technology is used in
killing. So he has decided to escape from the military with his girl friend as
she was being held captive by the military.
This entire issue is how David had planned everything out
with is escape. Matt throws in stuff about Drones, metalstorms, carbon
nanofibers, EMP grenades, light chameleon suits, military golf courses, threat
assessment and more. It is all seamless woven into the story. After you have
finished reading he gives you references to read up more on your own and tells
you what stuff he just made up for the story.
It is an engaging fast paced and well told story. The great
twist at the end is that the girl he escapes with actually works for the
military. The brass allowed the entire escape to give David a chance to blow
off steam, but have an agent under cover (and under the covers) with him to
keep the asset in check.
The artwork by Rahsan is passable but needs work. It just
feels a little less professional then many books. It would probably be helped
out a lot if they moved to making the book in color. I feel like he is a young
artist and his style is still evolving so I have high hopes he will improve
over time.
Bottom line I’m glad this series has done well enough that
is now an unlimited series and is not over with issue #4. A fast paced book
full of cutting edge science that is fun and educational.
