Thomas Alsop is the "Hand of the Island," the latest in a family of warlocks that protect Manhattan. But now that family is angry with Thomas. Between his drinking and his reality show, they wonder if Thomas is chasing the right type of spirits. With a long-dormant curse coming back, he better change his ways!
It's rare that a second issue is better than the first and rarer that you'll bite your nails off waiting for the third, but that's the case here. I'm far more impressed with this second outing than the first and I was smitten with the debut for sure. This year has produced some incredible mini-series and I've been fortunate enough to jump on a lot of them. Lucky for me I grabbed this book because I think I would have missed it with how under the radar it appears to be. Buy the first issue and buy this issue and join me biting my nails for the third.

Palle Schmidt's art is quite beautiful to look at. Whether it be moments depicting Alsop's journey to the family home, or flashback sequences, the line work and coloring combine to create something quite majestic. If the creative team can find a way to spend a bit more time allowing the art to breathe, the reading experience of this title will certainly improve. As of now, this young series has much to offer and should be on people's radars. Hopefully as it moves forward, Miskiewicz and Schmidt strike a balance that allows for a slightly smoother pace.
