"Originally published in magazine single magazine form as Black science #1-6."--T.p. verso.
"Grant McKay, former member of The Anarchistic Order of Scientists, has finally done the impossible: he has deciphered Black Science and punched through the barriers of reality with his creation, the Pillar. But something went wrong, and now Grant and his team are lost, barreling through the boundless expanses of the Eververse, living ghosts shipwrecked on an infinite ocean of alien worlds."--P. [4] of cover.

Lost in (Interdimensional) Space submitted by eknapp on May 20, 2015, 8:51am Scientists, a couple of kids, a smarmy bureaucrat and his toady bounce from dimension to dimension due to a busted science thingy, searching for The Way Home.

Black Science is absolutely beautiful to look at, full of heavy, intense blacks and oranges and purples. Really striking.

The plot's pretty generic. There's a brief mystery regarding who sabotaged the science thingy, but it turns out to be exactly who you'd expect. Each dimension is home to another hostile anthropomorphized animal species. Fish people, frog people, bird people, gorilla people. Not awful but not particularly interesting.

I would pass on this title submitted by rweyler on June 18, 2022, 6:27pm Presumably there are lots of dimensions, and the lost travelers can only jump at random, so each jump should take them to another interesting place. Unfortunately, nearly all the jumps are to another scary, hostile dimension where the best one can hope for is to leave quickly. The premise could be used in exciting ways but that opportunity is largely wasted in Black Science.
