Despite
the lack of action in SUPERCROOKS issue 2 it's still a great read. Drop by your local comic store and grab a copy of the first issue if it is
still available. The dramatic story introduced by Mark Millar, in the
debut issue continues on.
With SUPERCROOKS issue 2 the focus of the story centers on Johnny Bolt recruiting the team that he needs to pull off his master scheme. One by one we
are introduced to the criminal underworld and Bolt's past associates. Each potential team has their own distinct ability and power. Together
with Carmine, Johnny Bolt tries to convince these past and former associates in hopes of securing their services.
There's Ghost considered the world's greatest burglar, TK McCabe a
telekinetic, Forecast an individual who can control the weather and many other
interesting characters. Trust me, the last set of associates gets a bit interesting in terms of what they can offer to the team. Once the gathered group arrives in
Spain, Johnny Bolt reveals his ultimate plan in which most of the members
strongly object.
SUPERCROOKS issue 2 deserves your attention and is certainly not a disappointment. Miller's engaging story and portrayal of Bolt and his plan to assist Carmine, blurs the line between antihero
and villain. I find myself cheering on Johnny and his crazy scheme. Of
course, the ultimate blame goes to Carmine for pulling off that insane
casino robbery attempt from the first issue. You can't help but understand Johnny's point of view and compassion in wanting to help um, a fellow criminal like Carmine though.
Issue 2 delivers with a solid story
by Mark Millar that has wanting more. Once again Leinil Yu continues to dazzle with his amazing artwork. Yu's style perfectly reflects the tone of the book and series overall as I've mentioned in the debut issue review. I should remind readers that
there's a lot of violence in this issue in this series and as such it's only
for mature readers.
Final Verdict: A
