Feb 21, 2018I was very excited for the second issue after reading and loving the first, and this team has absolutely delivered. It captures the unnerving feeling of the first while also being different. This whole team is very talented and I'm once again very excited for the next issue because this issue was absolutely fantastic. Read Full Review

Jan 28, 2021If issue #1 grabbed our attention, then issue #2 certainly holds it tightly. This story doesn't deviate into different stories, rather it holds one throughout. Watching Karen and Jim go from a love struck couple to only the high mattering is heavy. The team leaves nothing on the cutting room floor. It serves to make this read all the more gripping.

Feb 26, 2018The best type of second issues, where a series' statement is made clear and where script and art are fused to deliver an excellent story. "Ice Cream Man" is one to watch. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - Brax
Feb 22, 2018Martin Morazzo has a visual knack for depicting Prince's weird, horrifying and somehow fleeting world of small town Americans steeped in a fantasy gothic swirl of death, decay, and human destruction. The series may not end up being as dark (and maybe depressing for some) as issue #2 is, but it has certainly established its capacity to comfortably live, breath, and die in the darkest corners of this strange world. 4/5.

Weird Science - Andrew McAvoy
Feb 24, 2018Another good installment, and its clear from this issue and the level of distance it places between the story in issue one and this tale that the writers are going to be working across a wide canvas with this title. It was an enjoyable issue and continues a solid start to the series. Read Full Review

The Brazen Bull - Charlie Chipman
Feb 21, 2018Ice Cream Man #2 is a well-written and well-illustrated comic book that, despite my merely satisfactory score, is worth reading. Issue #2 simply doesn't work as well or hit as hard as its predecessor. You can bet that I am going to read Issue #3; Ice Cream Man deserves a second shot. Read Full Review

Comics Bulletin - Kristopher Grey
Feb 27, 2018In issue #1, the narrator quoted, Theres a flavor for everyones suffering. This quote catches the overview of the series perfectly. Each issue gets a different title representing a delicious flavor of ice cream, while also playfully contradicting the dark subject matter. Every issue is a one-shot of different people with different issues, except for one common denominator: the Ice Cream Man. Read Full Review

On Comics Ground - Patrick Rahall
Mar 12, 2018I really enjoyed this story, and I won't spoil the ending. What I've summarized is about 75% of the story, and the last 25% is a real wild ride. This was my first foray into this title, and I have to admit that after reading the first two issues, I'm really interested to see where this storyline goes, and who or what the Ice Cream Man really is...

Tonally very different to issue 1, which i liked a lot. Now I really don't know what to expect from the next issues, which is a good thing considering how straightforward most comic series are in comparison.

"IceCream Man" #2 is a stunning, powerful, and complex look at addiction. We start the story with a young couple whose lives have come down to stealing for the next fix, anything to feel better. But Prince and Morazzo complicate things by presenting another side of addiction as a counterpoint, a man who has become an addict based on pain prescriptions and the woman who bears the brunt of his frustration. It's a difficult issue to explore, but it is done here with attention paid to all of the nuances surrounding addiction. Great, tragic stuff.

"A bad thing to get a good thing." Issue two of Ice Cream Man lets us know that this book will not be a predictable ride. The first thing that struck me after reading this comic was the emotional punch the story gives after Karen makes her choice on who to save. The sudden shift in narrative as we watch Jim try to carry on is heartbreaking, and the answers aren't obvious or easy. Did Karen base her choice on her love for Jim? Was it a selfless act to make up for her own evil deeds, and do something good? Or was it a selfish act? Did she choose herself because she wanted another high? Because addiction is a real thing and almost impossible to escape? The answer as usual in this series lies with you the reader. The dual story of more

Wow is this book good! I really dig anthology series, and if you do as well this is must to pick up for horror anthology fans. Crazy like Plastic was, but a heck of a lot different! I'm just comparing the vibes I get are the same, but I would recommend this to any comic fan who likes a good, creepy story. If your behind it's 2 issues in, but both were rush to 2nd print. If that matters lol on 1st and 2nd printings is up to that person but this is one great book. So far I have grabbed both variants for 1 and 2 amazing covers for both and cover A's as well.

This issue was much better than the 1st. While the first issue wasn't bad, the part with the werewolf kind of ruined it a little for me. This issue didn't have an odd twist at the end, it instead, had a better twist that was more grounded. The art is pretty good for the stories they are telling. I was very pleased with this issue.
