A brutal attack on the edges of the latest murder scene only spurs Abbott further into her investigation.
Saladin Ahmed and Sami Kivel's ABBOTT #2 is even more exciting than the first. With even more gruesome artwork and tantalizing plot twists, the BOOM! Studio's comic is a spellbinding read. Read Full Review

Writer Saladin Ahmed has created an intriguing and powerful character in Elena Abbott. You can't help but get wrapped up in her life and her pursuit for the truth. This puts her in danger and she's not going to back down any time soon. We get a ton of information in this issue about this case and it's done in an organic way that never feels like an exposition dump. Abbott is a solid detective story mixed with just the right amount of supernatural terror. Read Full Review

For all of my gripes with Abbott #2 it is undoubtably a fantastic follow-up to an incredible first issue. Ahmed and Kivel deliver on a handful of the promises of the introductory issue while also bringing forth new mysteries and interesting characters that will only benefit the series in the long run. Abbott continues to be one of the best new series of this year. Read Full Review
It leaves me wanting more for the mystery alone! The character interaction is great and I can't wait to see What happens next. Read Full Review
Unnecessary repetition and the wrong choice of opening and closing holds back an otherwise fantastic issue filled with exquisite paneling, fantastic character moments and an intriguing mystery. Hopefully the next one can recapture the magic of the first issue. Read Full Review
Abbott #2 is frustrating. It has a story baking underneath the supernatural elements, and the lead is a fantastic character with an interesting history that keeps coming back to haunt her. However, the supernatural themes feel like theyre hijacking the story, and the dialogue is daunting in its sheer volume. I can still tentatively recommend this one and want to promote its good ideas. Just beware of its drawbacks should you choose to read it. Read Full Review
The action is picking up, but aside from the art, it's hard to get invested in the story. Read Full Review
This continues to be my favorite new series. Saldin Ahmed is off to a brilliant start to his career. Abbott is a vivid world with great character and mystery that grows thicker with each page. The art creates a classic throwback setting while capturing the tone and stakes with ease. Boom has a really special book on their hands.
