Eat The Rich #2 changes the game. Gailey throws a great twist into the story that makes the whole thing that much better, taking a story that could have been cliche but still good and making it into something different. Bak and Titov bring the whole thing to life, really playing up the emotion and the atmosphere of Gaileys script. Eat The Rich is shaping up into something different than expected, and thats great.

Both timely and good, this issue will be a tough act to follow. I know what the readers were expecting from this title, but it certainly isn't whatever the heck this is. It is better. Read Full Review

This is a solid bit of work that will likely shine in a collected format. Despite some truly remarkable moments, the sum of the parts didn't quite make it.  Read Full Review

Eat the Rich #2 delves into the aftermath of what Jo saw Pip do to the Rockweather’s groundskeeper Toby. Lying in bed and terrified to death, her only desire is to leave. Jo tries to wake Astor up to let him know what she saw but to no avail, as the Klonopin he took to help him sleep has him too out of it.

Jo decides to go searching for proof so that she can convince Astor in the morning of what happened. Petal ends up finding Jo as she is snooping through Pip’s office. The conversation that ensues between the two is downright tense, a little shocking, and definitely disturbing. However, there are some themes that are touched on by Petal that I found to be quite relevant and surprisingly poignant about class inequality, inadequate healthcare system, predatory pharmaceutical practices, and the desperate lengths everyday people can go to just to survive.

The following morning as Jo tries to keep her composure so she won’t lose her mind, she’s approached by Astor’s step mom so they can discuss exactly what it was that Joey saw Pip and the other wealthy neighbors do.

I want to immediately state how blown away I am by Pius Bak’s art. It’s wonderfully expressive, fluid, and down right beautiful. I have become an instant fan over these two issues! I promise that you will feel the same once you open up Eat the Rich.

Sarah Gailey continues a sharp narrative giving a distinctive voice to each character. They continue to build this dark aristocratic world that Jo has found herself in. The rules don’t apply to the rich of Crestfall Bluffs. The extent of the power afforded to them by their wealth is tragically revealed by what their literal servants are willing to do. more

I mean, this is okay. I think the pacing could be better, and the lack of communication between the main character and her boyfriend is already frustrating. But the social commentary is pretty neat, and horror needs neat social commentary most of the time.
