Back when I did Soliciting Multiversity for the last month, I noted that there was an upcoming book called “Think Tank” for which we didn’t know too much about it.
Written by Matt Hawkins and illustrated by Rahsan Ekedal, the book is somewhat a mi of “The Manhattan Projects” and the “Activity.” Starring Dr. David Loren, the man decides he no longer wants to make weapons of mass destruction, but finds himself unable to just “quit” his deadly day job. The book then follows Loren as he tries to figure out how to start a new career (without just building a suit of iron or becoming an Avenger).

Image Comics Press Release
Image Comics and Minotaur Press, an imprint of Top Cow Productions, proudly announce the newest addition to their critically acclaimed line: THINK TANK. From the creative minds of Matt Hawkins (LADY PENDRAGON, PILOT SEASON: THE TEST) and Rahsan Ekedal (ECHOES, Solomon Kane), THINK TANK #1 blends taut action with the actual science of today.
Child prodigy, inventor, genius, slacker… mass murderer. These are all ways to describe the brilliant Dr. David Loren. When a military think tank’s smartest scientist decides he can no longer stomach creating weapons of destruction, will he be able to think his way out of his dilemma or find himself subject to the machinations of smaller men?
Debuting in August, THINK TANK is a science action thriller that will appeal to fans of other hit Image series like MANHATTAN PROJECTS and THE ACTIVITY.
“Dr. Loren’s life and situation are my commentary on American so-called exceptionalism in a modern day setting with real science and weapons that you’ve never heard of that do actually exist,” said writer Matt Hawkins. “The drones you see on TV flying in Afghanistan are decades-old technology. We marvel at these but the stuff coming out of DARPA and actual think tanks today rivals some of the most creative stuff you see in the best science fiction.”
Published under Top Cow Productions’ Minotaur Press imprint, the 32-page, black and white THINK TANK #1 will be in stores on Wednesday, August 1st, 2012 for $3.99. It is available for pre-order now in the June issue of Previews (order code JUN120435).
