A solid second issue. I love how to draws parallels to our own political atmosphere, reminding us now only of where we've come from, but the dangers of where we might go if bad actors aren't stopped and held accountable. Read Full Review

I mentioned in my review of issue #1 that Abbott 1973 felt like it was getting off to a slow start and that trend has largely continued here in the second chapter. Read Full Review

Abbott: 1973 Issue: 2 Publisher: @boom_studios Writer: @saladin__ahmed Artist: @samikivela Colorist: @mattiaiacono_colors_ Cover: @tajfrancis Letterer: @jimcampbell An old friend resurfaces and sends a warning to Abbott that her enemies have returned to weaken her by any means necessary. She learns of a bigger conspiracy as the forces against her make their next move. Abbott continues to face struggles in her life as far as personal losses and her ideas being shot down at the newspaper. Luckily, she seems to finally caught a break uncovering a secret of the group attempting to take down the man who would be Detroit's first Black mayor. Issue two of Abbott 1973 is a good issue that sets up some interesting plot points a s we move forward. Elena continues her investigation of the racist propaganda flyers and radio ads while also learning how powerful she really is. This concept of this story is intriguing as it’s a mix of real world problems of racism and sexism along with the added supernatural aspect of it all. The evil organization of Umbra instills hate and racism is hand down my favorite character in this story and I look forward to the showdown between them and Abbott. The artwork continues to be incredibly beautiful and detailed. Each character’s emotions are well done as well as the added supernatural elements of the story. I look forward to seeing what happens next. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5) Reviewed by: @mcruz2189 of The Comic Book Club of Instagram Follow: @the_comicbook_club on Instagram for more reviews! more
