Jones leaves readers on a cliffhanger that raises many questions about the interim period between the first series and the new. By presenting a solid continuation of the plot with keen artistic detail, Jolle Jones and Michelle Madsen create a visually stunning and thought-provoking start to Lady Killer 2. Read Full Review

It probably goes without saying that I enjoy Jones' cheeky mid-century murderverse, and sometimes less complexity is more and this is one of those stories that proves it. Give this comic a chance, and pick up the trade version of the first series so you can get caught up. There might even be a familiar reviewer quoted on the back" Read Full Review

A large part of Lady Killers success was the fact that it was fun eclectic mix of humour, satire and dark violence. The challenge ahead for Joelle is to keep the book fresh. Too much of a good thing can be bad for you. Here, the format of publisher Dark Horse Comics predilection for mini series should help maintain story focus without meandering into repetitiveness.

The toughest part of this review was whether to praise Joelle Jones' writing or art to the moon. Well, I did both. Go grab this book that takes deranged 1950s housewife to another level.  Read Full Review

Lady Killer 2is the best dark comedy in comics that skewers the patriarchy of the past with a killer woman in Josie Schuller. It's not just a compelling story but arguably one of the best-illustrated comics as well. You need to add this to your pull list. Lady Killer if off to another strong start. Read Full Review

Overall, “Lady Killer 2 #1” is off to a great start. From the opening scene, to the first act of violence…from the Schuller Family moments, to the final act, everything that made the original miniseries memorable is found in this premiere issue. Jolle Jones knows how to make Josie beautiful and loveable, but scary and powerful simultaneously, through words and illustrations. Michelle Madsen nails it with the coloring as well, the atmosphere really changes from the blood-red violent scenes to the bright, cheery family moments. Fans of this series are in for a treat, and new readers will be able to follow along fine, but it's recommended to read the first miniseries before jumping on to this one. Im rating this comic 4.5 out of 5 stars, highly recommended! Read Full Review

Jolle Jones's art is the star of the story. The characters are expressive and messy, beautiful and occasionally sleazy. Lady Killer featured ink splattered pages, and while Lady Killer 2 #1 featured the same ink-splotched pages, the overall art and style suggests that Josie is fully in control and more organized than she's ever been. Joness use of heavy inks and Michelle Madsens poppy colors create an amazing contrast between tone and action: The art is brightest when Josie's narrative is dark, just as the inverse is true and the tone of the story upbeat when Josie is brutally stabbing victims. The overall effect is a story that's as delightful to look at as it is to read. Read Full Review

Lady Killer 2 #1 is a compelling and unique tale. A black comedy equally able to make you laugh and make you squirm. Often at the same time. Read Full Review

This minor niggle aside, the flair with whichJolle Jones executes the story – not to mention the legitimately world-class artwork – makes this an absolute joy to read. The first series of Lady Killer started off with an intriguing, attention grabbing hook (a housewife assassin!) before gradually unveiling a tense, dramatic and darkly comic character piece, and this second arc has all the hallmarks of delivering exactly the same captivating experience. Highly, highly recommended. Read Full Review

While there are a few loose ends to tie up, this issue holds nothing back. Despite being a bit foreign for newcomers, Ladykiller 2 appears to be a series worth following. Read Full Review

A very unique first issue that is well worth picking up and pouring over, even if you've never read the pervious series. Read Full Review

Joelle Jones and Michelle Madsen have full control of the pacing in this issue. When doing a comic that's heavy on narration it's easy to lose the purpose of the issue and where it's going. The narration compliments the art in a way that, with all due respect to Jamie S. Rich's scripting, feels like a direct translation of Joelle Jones' head into the page. Lady Killer 2 #1 is aware of what the reader is here for and deliver more of it, this time making it bloodier and with Josie in control. Read Full Review

If there's a downside to all this visual splendor, it's that the writing can't quite compete. It's perfectly serviceable, but also mostly unnecessary. I can't help but wonder if the book would be even more effective with half the amount of text, or even none at all. But that hardly puts a damper on all the fun Jones is clearly having, and it's infectious. Read Full Review
