The laws of physics have been severely broken. With time paradoxes, quantum tornadoes, and gravity failing as often as the sun rises and sets, things on planet earth have changed. For example, when you call 911, you are asked if your emergency is in regards to medical, fire, or physics.
Enter the FBP- Federal Bureau of Physics and agent Adam Hardy. For the government agency, these calls seem like just another day at the office. But when Adam becomes temporarily stranded in a bubble universe, he learns that their may be something sinister behind the weakening of the fabric of the universe. In a world where the 'impossible is always possible' Adam and his team must get to the bottom of the quantum entanglements or the fate of not just the world, but the entire universe is doomed.
If it seems like I've been on a science graphic novel kick lately, it's not my fault. My library just happened to get in a bunch of science themed books in recently and I decided to snatch up several volume 1s in order to decide if there were any new series to get into since 'Fables' is almost through. So far, I'm batting 2-2.
FBP was exciting and unexpected. The book has so many twists and turns and shocks that I was pleasantly surprised that I had no idea where the members of the FBP were going to go next. So many comic series these days are about as predictable as the weather in San Deigo but that is not the case here. Also, with so much happening in the realm of physics, not every mystery is revealed and that is a good thing as I'm set up and ready for volume 2.
Another good thing about this book is that the writing is so good that even the 'boring' parts are great. In The Phantom Menace, the Star Wars prequel was ruined by lengthy scenes involving intergalactic trade treaties. But in FBP, even the agency's struggle to achieve federal funding is as interesting as the time vortexes that haunt one of the characters in this book.
If you like the X-Files, CSI, Doctor Who, and science in general then this is the series for you.
Worth Consuming
Rating: 9 out of 10 stars (as the art was a little rough at times but it still made for an engaging read.)
