Emma is a brilliant young woman whose life was just turned upside down by a billionaire who says that her long lost parents were in fact very famous thieves. They took the world's most famous billionaire for a cool billion... before they disappeared never to be seen or heard from again. And now he wants revenge, from her. Follow Emma as she enters into the world her parents left behind and come face to face with the PARAGON. All this brought to life by the amazing brush of Alex Maleev.
Masterpiece #2 is just fantastic. It is packed with laughs, tension, that cool you want from a heist story, all with great art. This is another amazing hit from Bendis and Maleev and one that I already want to see on the big screen and continue any way possible. Read Full Review
Who is Emma Lawford? That question haunts the pages of comics next big thing. Bendis orchestrates the ultimate heist of readership with brilliant writing. Paired with Maleevs electric art and its another winning combination fans cant afford to miss. Read Full Review
Maleev delivers some fantastic art throughout the issue. The visuals are beautifully detailed and perfectly captures the dark tone of the story. Read Full Review
Masterpiece #2 is a fun issue. It brings more clarity to the series than the first issue. That clarity doesnt sustain the same level of curiosity the first issue developed, but it does bring more energy. For now, this is a worthwhile series for fans of heist stories and potentially crime fiction overall as long as the expectation isnt for too dark a story. Read Full Review
Masterpiece continues to provide snappy dialogue and characters which dont strain the suspension of disbelief. Not everyone is likeable, even sometimes annoying, which builds a credible, grounded world. I love a good heist story and, whilst many might prefer a trade format to binge such a yarn, the single issue format allows the team to deliver those cliff-hangaresque moments. For me this is a solid example of the genre done well and I'm certainly looking forward to more. Read Full Review
As the getting the band together story begins, Masterpiece relies heavily upon familiar tropes with a cast of ill-defined characters. Read Full Review
Plot
Exciting second installment continues to mix the spy genre with the thief genre in a perfect balance, introducing a cool vigilante.
Art
It is full of textures and details that offer interesting cinematic dynamism, you already imagine that it could be the cast of the future live action adaptation of this comic.
Summary
Emma must play along with Preston in order to discover more of her past, for that she will need help.
It's close to being as good as issue 1, but not quite. I think it's still got a ton of potential to be a lot of fun. It's just building right now and I hope it's worth it.
