FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics is an American comic book series by Simon Oliver and Robbi Rodriguez, published by Vertigo Comics. FBP imagines a world where disturbances in the laws of physics are as common as weather, and necessitate forecasts about wormhole locations, momentary gravity losses, and entropy reversals. With much fanfare, the government creates a new bureaucratic organization to deal with quantum disturbances, the Federal Bureau of Physics.[1] The story follows special agent Adam Hardy as he deals with internal departmental battles and increasingly dangerous and radical quantum disasters.

Publication history
editOriginal title
editThe original title of the series was Collider. When Vertigo published the first issue under that name, beActive, an Irish comics publisher, took legal action and forced Vertigo to change the title to FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics.[2][3] While Oliver said he was ambivalent about changing the name, the process of creating a new title allowed the creative team an opportunity to "really get back examine to the nuts and bolts, and kick the tires of what the book's really all about".[4]
Vertigo published 24 issues of Collider/FBP from 2013 to 2015.
In other media
editIn 2014, Warner Bros. was in development of a film version of FBP with Justin Marks penning the script, while produced by David S. Goyer and Nellie Reed.[5]
