Arcbound #2

Kais new life doesnt come without consequences. The writing walks him into an unlikely direction. Smallman and Beaudoin elevate the stakes for both Kai and Xander with spectacular art. Even in its early stages, Arcbound wastes no time in bringing intense action and an even paced story. Readers will have much to enjoy with this new series. Read Full Review

Smallman delivers some great art throughout the issue. I continue to love the exaggerated style of the characters and how that art contributes to the tone of the story. Read Full Review

Plot Kai wakes up and destroys the laboratory where they moved his robotic ARC body, which allows him to maintain his consciousness and his body runs on KRONIUM, the most profitable energy source in the galaxy. The person who saves Kai's life calls himself Doctor Zon, who is accompanied by Alvarez, both offer Kai the opportunity to continue living with this ARC body if they help him access the GREAT VAULT, to get more answers about Kronium, ZYNETEC and ARC technology. Kai reluctantly accepts the mission, because without Kronium he will die anyway. On the other hand, General Grush scolds Xander for not having recovered Kai's body and forces him to hire a bounty hunter to locate Kai. Xander hires Barnes, an extremely rude woman. Lyra, Kai's wife, constantly calls Xander asking for information about her husband, not knowing that he is responsible for her disappearance. With a story full of betrayal, government plots and science fiction, they introduce a new universe and a character with whom we can identify as Kai. Art It is very organic and with a dynamism in the anatomies that resembles a fluid, so the action sequences feel dizzying. All the recreation of science fiction and retro/futuristic astronaut suits is great. Summary Kai must negotiate with the doctor who saved his life while those who betrayed him are on his trail. Mystery, suspense and betrayals wrapped in a pure science fiction environment more

A good issue. Not what I was expecting after the first but it did enough to make me care.
