Grim #2 is another fantastic issue of the series. It deepens the questions and raises more while also giving us characters we can either laugh with and/or feel for. It's a wonderful mystery set in an interesting world. Grim #2 continues a solid new twist on a classic concept. Read Full Review
There are some great moments when song lyrics are displayed on the page and they flow just as if you're singing alongside them. Read Full Review
A page from Grim #2Rich notes that sales are all the way up for Grim, and speculators notwithstanding, it's for a good reason: The comic is good and feels fresh. If Grim can keep up the quality bar maintained by Grim #2, Boom just might have a reliable hit on its hands. Boom hosts a preview of Grim #2 on its website, which includes all of the variant covers for the issue. Read Full Review
This was an interesting follow-up to what was set up in the opening issue. I think this, somewhat, takes a little while to get to the point of why most are interested, that being Jessica learning more about her death, but I also think that Adira is set up as a formidable antagonist going forward. Plus, before Jessica attempts to see her death, the door is opened for Marcel to be explored further as his death is teased here also. Overall, this was another good read for this series and it maintains my interesting going into the halfway point of this first arc.
Mysteries deepen and a few villains introduced ???

GRIM is a fun comic so far but it suffers from what a lot of indie books of it's type end up lacking, and that's clunky world building and wasted exposition.
It's reminding me a lot of another indie grim reaper story: DEATH VIGIL by Stjepan Sejic, but there the characters were memorable, the story super engaging, and the art unmatched.
Grim just has a lot to live up to if it wants to stand out.
