In this Stranger Things meets Stand by Me story from House of Slaughter artist Chris Shehan and writer David M. Booher (All-New Firefly), the Magic Specs were far more than Kenny and Ted signed up for.

Given their unwillingness to acknowledge the dangerous consequences of their recent wish, what does this mean for their victim, and what do they do with the glasses moving forward?

Kenny fears that all of this may affect his and Ted's relationship... and wonders if they'll truly remain just "friends."

    'Specs' #2 places its focus correctly on the human element of story allowing the supernatural horror element to exist but not be the main driving force of the story. Exploring these young men and the world they live in and the domino effect these glasses are having on their lives is powerful, emotional, and often painful. A story set in the 80s that still speaks powerfully about elements we're still dealing with to this day. Read Full Review

    Another good issue. I feel like it's down to earth, co sidering the concept. Good writing, and good art to match.

    A good follow-up to the super interesting first issue. While I didn't give this the same score as said issue, I do feel very similarly to how I felt with that one. Shehan's art is good and Booher does a really solid job of writing these characters to feel authentic. Plus, I also thought the ending was another nice cliffhanger. It didn't really hit quite as hard as Issue 1, but it was still effective in advancing the story in an interesting way, leaving me wanting more.
