Hitler's back. A mad scientist thought he could reform him; make Hitler
a productive member of our future society. He was wrong. Now, the
only thing standing between mankind and total oblivion is Albert Einstein.
Einstein has hand picked the greatest minds in history to face off against
this great evil. But who will prevail the latest iteration of The Third
Reich? Or the Heroes of Science!
Annotations and commentary
Introducing: Carl Sagan's Ghost.
Sagan's Ghost is one of the oldest concepts I have relating to Heroes of Science.
Let me go back to the genesis of HOS for a second. I wanted to do a parody of all
the 80's nostalgia stuff coming back a few years ago. It was mostly going to be a
parody of what Transformers fans wanted for a hypothetical new TV show.
Transformers had an episode called "Starscream's Ghost" featuring the ghost of
beloved Decepticon Starscream causing trouble. And that's where Sagan's Ghost came
from mostly. A robot ghost is kind-of a stretch, so I've changed the forumula
substantially.
Now, Heroes of Science is an ultra-violent action comic about beating Adolf Hitler
into a bloody, shattered, pulp. Also good.
