What follows though, is anything but a history lesson. Opening squarely in the realms of a seemingly historically accurate reality, we see General Leslie Groves recruiting Doctor Robert Oppenheimer into the Manhattan Project. The first volume of “The Manhattan Projects” had these elements but they were coated in heaps of fun. Likewise, from what I’ve read of “East of West” (I’m halfway through the series, and will be putting it on hold over the next six weeks), there’s always a larger picture taking shape. When I’m reading “X-Men,” I’m always searching for the smaller threads and details crammed into every moment. When I sat down to start the first volume of “The Manhattan Projects,” I wasn’t sure what to expect. What if the research and development department created to produce the first atomic bomb was a front for a series of other, more unusual, programs?
