After the shocking events of the last issue, Peter finds himself at a loss as he tries to comprehend the new status quo.
Needing help to move forward, he'll need to call on the Lost Boys once again... except, they're no longer boys themselves and they've got a dire warning about a new threat that could further change Neverland forever!
Fairy Tales free a dying man from his grim reality. Tales whispered by a fairy shackle a boy to his preconceptions. While Wendy realizes she no longer belongs in her family home, a new menace threatens to destroy everything Peter holds dear in The Last Boy #2. Read Full Review
Avallone offers some beautifully detailed and visually stunning fantasy art throughout the issue. I love the visual contrast between the lush, vibrant world of Neverland and the drab, gray tones of the real world. Read Full Review
The Last Boy #2 continues to remix Peter Pan lore, bringing a new villain to life in the process. While I still don't know how Peter and Wendy's stories will converge, the final pages make me want to pick up the newest issue as soon as it drops. Read Full Review
When it comes to twisting classic stories and giving them fresh takes arguably no one does it better than Dan Panosian. The Last Boy #2 is a great example of this as Panosian maximizes the core portrayal of Peter Pan and how he warps everything around his idea of how Neverland should operate. Read Full Review
The Last Boy #2 relies on many of the same thematic and story elements that the first issue did. They remain effective here as well, right down to the shocking events on the final pages (though in this case it impacts Peter in a more personal way). And the more emotional elements in Wendys story give the issue an extra kick. The Last Boy #2 continues a fun and creative take on an old story and is easy to get into for readers who skipped the first issue. Read Full Review
I remain in my position that Panosian does not understand this character. He's overly selfish and naive in this iteration and it just doesn't work. I believe the Shadow King is a new character for this book. I like the whole fairy land part, but overall this is a major disappointment.
