Middlewest #2

Middlewest #2 is another spectacular issue. Skottie Young's script is developing into an epic quest. While Jorge Corona's art continues to create the stunning world of Middlewest, crafting unique setting and cast of characters. Read Full Review

Middlewest #2 held my attention and continued the story in ways I barely hoped to see. It upped the ante with the plot, and maintained the gorgeous art style that we've already come to expect from it. Read Full Review

Middlewest continues to be a compelling tale both from the personal drama that Abel is going through, but also in the strange and interesting world that is being crafted by Skottie Young. Read Full Review

Middlewest #2 continues to shine in most of the same ways as the debut. Young and company have already created a marvelous world that readers will want to fall into. The pacing is a little rough, but this is easy to forgive with how great everything else is. Read Full Review

While it's a definite step up from its rough predecessor, Middlewest #2 wears a lot of influences but doesn't show it can transcend them, although the possibility is still present. Read Full Review

In a way, Middlewest reminds me of the early chapters of the first book of the Dark Tower - there's a relatively straightforward plot, but it's almost secondary to the strange world it's set in. Read Full Review

Better than the first issue. A lot better. I don't know if I love or hate the fact that every location he uses is very close to where I live...

We meet a new character and Abel and the fox head out on their quest. Abel's chest wound seems tied to his anger, which almost certainly has to do with his relationship with his Dad. I can already envision a somewhat cliché resolution along these lines, but as long as it's well executed, I don't think I'll care too much. For now, I'm just enjoying this little adventure tale and seeing where it goes. Jorge Corona's art is a treat to look at too.

It's an interesting world, but this kid is kind of a douche.
