Well, that wasn&#8217;t the plan originally, but as I&#8217;m still doing this 10+ years after I started it is now one of the perks. Matthew did a series of minis a few years back that were mostly fun, all-ages science stuff. The cover has improved and the art is noticeably better and in full color, but it remains full of fun, all-ages science stuff. This time around our hero has developed a mind enhancement machine and has used it on his dog and a rat to prove that it worked. It&#8217;s still too untested to use on a human, so naturally his nemesis overhears it (with a complicated spy device, it&#8217;s not like his nemesis was in the room with him or anything) and schemes to use it on himself. Shenanigans occur, hostages are taken and an over-sized brain gets thrown into the mix. Matthew has also been much more creative with his panel layouts this time around, as I remember them being pretty standard for most of his minis and they&#8217;re all over the place (in a good way) for this one. His stuff wasn&#8217;t bad to begin with, but he&#8217;s made a leap forward with this one. If you&#8217;re a fan of grim and gritty realism then you should probably pass, but this is perfect for the kids or people who like a little scientific mayhem in their comics. $3.50 and that website is still pretty bare, but I&#8217;m sure that he&#8217;ll get it updated in no time.
