SUPER SCIENCE HC (2025)

Super Science is a sci-fi/comedy about a world where the limits of human imagination have become real. For five days the entire sky over twelve spots across the globe turn purple. The result was in each location, professional engineers and scientists, as well as tinkers, amateur inventors, and high school science teachers were able to create scientific and engineering breakthroughs in ways far surpassing the world's top scientific institutions. Our story starts three years later in Los Angeles, where a breed of actual superheroes and super villains are emerging. Dealing with this new phenomenon is the LAPD's new "Mad Scientist Division," including no-nonsense Sergeant Esmerelda Villanueva and her idealistic young partner, Officer Jack Mantle. Other characters include manipulative industrialist Burt Montague and his lab assistant Felicia Bari; perpetually unlucky Karen Katz, a former biology teacher who has turned herself into a human-cat hybrid; Esmerelda's son, Gabe, who might be the smartest teenager on the planet; nefarious super villain Dr. Cornelius Otherland and his nemesis, bumbling superhero Gas Giant. This graphic novel follows up on Super Science: Chapter Zero and ships in a gold-foil stamped cloth slipcase!

Adapted from the previously published premium hardcover slipcase edition, The Lab Portable™ Edition offers this complete, unabridged graphic novel in a smaller, paperback format—the same acclaimed story and artwork, now more accessible than ever.

In a world where imagination becomes reality, ordinary people gain the power to change the world—whether they should or not. For five days, the sky turned amethyst—and the limits of human imagination disappeared. Across the globe, ordinary people became capable of extraordinary inventions, reshaping the world in ways no one could predict or control. Three years later, the LAPD's Mad Scientist Division is left to deal with the consequences. Sergeant Esmerelda Villanueva and her rookie partner Jack Mantle are tasked with containing a constant stream of incidents involving rogue technology, unstable experiments, and individuals who have pushed science far beyond its limits. But as cases escalate and the line between innovation and danger disappears, it becomes clear that this new world isn't just chaotic—it's evolving. An original graphic novel that blends science fiction, superhero storytelling, and police procedural with sharp humor and grounded characters, Super Science Vol. 1 explores what happens when discovery outpaces responsibility.
