Overall, I really enjoyed this first issue and felt a genuine connection with Huck. I hope other readers who are neurodiverse find that connection too. Read Full Review

Plot
The hero who does the greatest number of selfless good deeds every day returns, a hero full of tenderness and compassion.

Anna, Huck's mother, remembers in her nightmares how, as a teenager in Ukraine, she and a group of friends came across a house in the woods that hadn't been there the day before. There, a witch gave them a mysterious soup to drink, and from that moment on, Anna gained the power to make anyone do anything she wanted just by touching them. When the police discovered her, it was her last day off.

Anna wakes up to find Dr. Jack Harper on her porch, who explains that she and Huck aren't the only ones with powers in the world. There are many people like her who perform anonymous actions, like Sophia, who rescued him from drowning thirty years ago. He needs Huck to locate her with his powerful homing skills.

Huck finds himself at sea saving a group of sailors who've been blown off course by a storm. He's excited to be hanging out with Zoe. When he called to show her a keychain he bought her, Zoe breaks his heart by telling him she's leaving with her daughter Micah on tour with her ex-husband's band. She wants to give her daughter a chance to spend time with her father and maybe mend fences in their relationship. Huck runs in, and Micah's father, Jimbo, mocks Huck.

Anna introduces Huck to Dr. Harper.

Spectacular start to this sequel where Huck's world is shaken again and he is about to discover the truth about the origin of his powers, which apparently delves into fantasy with elements of magic and sorcery, separating itself from science fiction/cold war elements as shown in HUCK VOLUME 1: ALL-AMERICAN.

Art
Rafael Albuquerque returns to this saga with his textured strokes that convey Huck's strength and tenderness. His shots are spectacular, as are the poses. It is undoubtedly his best work to date. Dave McCaig's color palette offers a cinematic feel, using sepia tones for flashbacks and a blue palette to denote sadness.

Summary
Huck continues his mission to do good deeds every day, even though his heart is broken, but the appearance of a mysterious figure represents the answers to the origin of Huck and his mother's powers.
