And last but not least , Project Black Sky is a comic — or rather , two funnies : the excellent one bid on Free Comic Book Day , which kicked off the effect , and a free webcomic titled The secluded Files of Project Black Sky , which is offered here , and helps flesh out the connective tissue that runs between all these comic .

Blackout : “ A researcher sire the ability to take the air “ between ” dimensions by cutting through a second , “ dark ” one — but do even worse horrors lurk in there ? Project Black Sky very much wants to talk to this young homo , find out where he ’s get his ability from . ”

Now he does n’t trust Project Black Sky , and they for certain do n’t confide him — the inventor and pilot has the engineering know - how to pose a serious menace to them .
“ Captain Midnight is a fun character , a bozo used to being in charge who is completely out of his element , and he just sort of pile with the mod earth by barrel through it . Matt ’s contempt for him ( part and piece of ground of the despite the youth have for their senior ) grew to esteem during the FCBD squad - up . Matt does n’t have many friends , and even less multitude to front up to , so that ’s a kinship I look onward to growing in the fare month . ”
