ItвЂ™s a shame that what I loved from issue one just wasnвЂ™t as prominent in this issue, and I hope that it gets those things back in the issues to come. I want this book to succeed! These are two characters I really like to read, from a team whose work I really enjoy.

You still believe Harley and Ivy are AmericaвЂ™s dream couple.

Heroes in Crisis is something you want to see followed-up on, and its fallout dealt with.

The first issue was compelling enough for you to read the second before the trades.

There are absolutely strengths to this comic, and I love it the most when Melo is playing to them вЂ“ so I hope we see more content from Houser next issue that MeloвЂ™s work can really shine with. These two panels here feel so much more effective with the slight exaggeration of their expressions. The good news, however, is that once again, some of her simpler faces are just as compelling, and I wouldnвЂ™t mind seeing more of them taking up the larger panels. I imagine drawing monthly comics canвЂ™t be an easy feat, of course. Not only that, but there was none of the sinister imagery from the first issue to tide me over in this one, so this chapter ended up having little to none of what enthralled me about this book in the first place. More faces that seem just a little off, more poses that are just slightly less dynamic than they need to be for me to really enjoy them. The main problem is that while the great parts of MeloвЂ™s work remain, the choppier sections have felt a little more prominent. ThatвЂ™s a good page, managing to display several necessary moments in a quick period of time, while also showcasing MeloвЂ™s chops at drawing Harley. Adriana Melo is a very capable artist, and there are moments where she gets to display her talents with pride. The art is the same as the writing in many respects here: it certainly isnвЂ™t bad, but it leaves a lot to be desired. The conversation between Harley and Ivy between the two setpieces is interesting enough: the concept of feeling betrayed by the heroes who promised to get you help is an interesting one. They talk for a scene about how IvyвЂ™s holding up after Heroes in Crisis, and finally, they walk into the next trap for issue 2 (now with Mad Hatter!). They escape the Floronic Man, who appeared at the end of issue one. Unfortunately, there isnвЂ™t much to say about this issue. HouserвЂ™s writing is something I enjoy вЂ“ sheвЂ™s a direct writer and knows when to let the images speak for themselves. What makes this book out of all of them worth your money? Sadly, I can think of fewer reasons than I could for issue 1. But IвЂ™m poor as hell, and I have to factor in the money factor when talking about a comic.

ItвЂ™s quite easy to read, and I imagine will be considered rather harmless when reading this issue in a trade presuming the rest of the book is more at the level of the quality in the first issue.

But I canвЂ™t help but dislike it, and I think to calmly explain why a helpful and constructive experience for everyone involved.

These are talented people working on these products, and it shows on the pages. Three of the four comics IвЂ™ve read this week havenвЂ™t done much for me, and thatвЂ™s not something I enjoy вЂ“ I donвЂ™t sit down at my desk to look at the hard work of industry professionals I have a lot of respect for and think, вЂњhow can I tear that work down?вЂќ to myself. I hope itвЂ™s quite clear that I donвЂ™t want to dislike this issue. Or, you know, the other reasons IвЂ™ll be diving into for the rest of this review.
