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
I believe this is the most dialog heavy page of Heroes of Science yet. Stephen Hawking alone has more lines on this page than Marie Curie or George Washington Carver.Anyway, one of the earliest key-concepts I came up for while developing Heroes of Science was that Stephen Hawking was their orbitting battle-base. In the hypothetical 80's toyline the Hawking-1 Battlestation costed 100$, was much like Metroplex and Trypticon, was the greatest toy a parent could give their child. Likewise, this is the first instance of a living person appearing in Heroes of Science. Well, outside of the huge crowd scenes from Chapter 1, but should those really count?
Panel 4
This is what I call the "Star Trek" ending. Somebody makes a pun that doens't really make any sense and sure as hell isn't funny, then everybody breaks out laughing. Well, not Spock, but you know.
