Arcadia is 2/2 for successful issues. >Arcadia #2 compounds on the first issue's hook with a solid and unique storyline that provides plenty of intrigue. The art isn't my favorite, but it does enough to make the series one of my current top five. Read Full Review
Alice tells Lee that his immunity is a miracle giftwrapped in barbed wire. That is a description that applies to this book in many ways.
