Blood on Your Hands

Clarence, Frank, and the lady are back on the run after Frank murdered the would-be rapist. As they fight about where they will end up, John who was believed dead is on their trail. He hopped on a train in hot pursuit of the group. Meanwhile, Bob and Cy finally get to express their love for each other behind closed doors. But, as it seems everyone is falling into place, a major curveball gets thrown.

Running Wild

This issue was a real good follow up to issue one. As the escape was daunting enough now the crew has to continue to run and that proves to be the hardest part. Christopher Cantwell does an amazing job of building our trust and feelings for these characters. The amount of jeopardy and strife that he puts them in builds a great deal of suspense for the reader.

The art in this issue matches the tone and feel of the story. Tyler Crook does a fantastic job of drawing your eyes to the panels on the page. Each page brings a new image that catches your eye. The colors that he uses match the mood and emotion of the story perfectly.
