  De Felici nails, the second issue almost perfectly. It's really just a matter of expanding the world from here. Now that the reader is given of perspective on one of these that's going on in the course of the series, rest of the issues can't continue to focus on the momentum of the action at the heart of the drama. So long as De Felici is able to maintain the overall rhythm and momentum that he's established and the first couple of issues, all should be quite well with respect to that. The second issue speaks to a very promising series. Read Full Review

  Red Roots #2 doubles down on mystery and bizarre fantasy elements while keeping readers invested through believable character reactions and inventive worldbuilding.

While the issue loses a bit of the experimental energy that made the debut stand out, it replaces it with stronger momentum and intriguing fantasy exploration that leaves plenty to unpack moving forward.
