Feb 28, 2018By the time the story is over it feels like a comic book equivalent of John Wick, featuring a badass woman of color with a kid in place of Keanu Reeves. Read Full Review

Mar 01, 2018Though this issue is light on action following the tense opening fight scene, Dan Abnett does a fantastic job of keeping things moving as we see The Silencer head back into her old world. Read Full Review

Feb 28, 2018The Silencer is a winner blending action and humor in a familiar package that still feels fresh. While it doesn't feel very "DC" it is entertaining and part of the "New Age of Heroes" that I'm coming back to check out and see where it takes us. Read Full Review

Outright Geekery - Brian A. Madrid
Apr 01, 2018So far, from the DC Universe, The Silencer is starting to become one of my favorite comic books. I'm a sucker for ordinary things we take for granted to be something completely different. One never knows about anyone living next to you. They could be someone like a typical wife and mother of two children or someone who knows 1001 ways to kill you in your sleep. In any event, The Silencer is expected to have more surprises in store in coming issues and look forward to it. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - Brax
Mar 02, 2018And ultimately the images and the imagery are what make this book "pullable" from month to month. John Romita Jr's pencils are brilliant. It is nearly impossible to view his artwork without seeing the rich history of classic comics that he has worked on over the years. Romita Jr.'s work carries with it the visual gravitas of a stellar career drawn across platforms, in and around the worlds of your favorite superheroes. The Silencer inherits some of this magic and puts it to good use in this compelling issue. Read Full Review

Mar 02, 2018Granted, there's still bits in this series that don't quite add up " in particular, why Honor or the reader should care about her lame, boring husband " this series is really starting to grow on me. Read Full Review

Comics: The Gathering - Michael D
Feb 28, 2018The art mostly works too. The action scenes in particular are tight and well executed. The colors really help to make them pop. While the action might be nice to look at Romita Jr produces some awkward faces for the slower scenes. While this book is fun, it has potential to be much more. Hopefully the creative is able to find a better footing with this new character. Read Full Review

Comic Bastards - Cat Wyatt
Feb 28, 2018I still can't stand the look of her high tech suit. It honestly looks like a full body puffy jacket. Once I realized that I couldn't NOT see a poofy marshmallow-like jacket every time I saw it. Though I like the rough style for everything else, and Honor's new hair cut is actually pretty cute.

You Don't Read Comics - David Harth
Feb 28, 2018Silencer #2 isnt a perfect book by any means, but its fun and keeps things moving. The art is its biggest strength, but the plot has potential and Silencer is an intriguing character. Its not the best ride at the theme park, but its still worth your time. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Hussein Wasiti
Feb 28, 2018I liked this issue a lot less than the previous one. The story feels less dynamic and real than it did in the last issue, and some of the storytelling choices didn't do it any favours. The book is too overwritten and the art is a bit sloppier due to it looking rushed and less whole because of the two colourists. I still think this series has legs, and I think Viktor Bogdanovic will be the one to jumpstart it. Romita is leaving the book after the next issue, you see. Read Full Review

Is it a rip-off of John Wick? Kinda. But it's well-done and I like it. :)

So far, Silencer is easily the freshest newcommer from New Age of Heroes. I've generally enjoyed the first issue, with its moments of ordinary suburban family life, mysterious past of the eponymous (anti)heroine, and potential for the future development of both her as a character and the story focused around her. Issue #2 adds a ton of depth to the Underlife, an organization Honor used to "work" for, and explains some of the ways it operates. I love it - when most of comics focus on heroes alone, Silencer's writers are not afraid to put the backstory and subtle details on the foreground. Art, same as with #1, is the Achilles' heel of the issue. Some panels look rushed, or just drawn lazily, which can be observed especially on character more

Silencer continues stong with it's second issue. We learn more about life Honor left or tried to leave, this Underlife, some kind of secret society of assasins (kinda smells like John Wick). We'll see how it goes.
