    The flash forward that started The Butchers Boy #1 hangs over the second issue like a ticking clock in the same way it did the first. At times the tension is almost unbearable. And theres a kind of impatience at seeing what Greenwood and Simpson are going to do visually once everything goes bad. The Butchers Boy #2 is a fast moving, high tension issue that will make readers impatient for the horror they know is coming. Read Full Review

    Connections to the town's "mystery meat" and distrust amongst themselves sets up action for issue #3, even if there's nothing mysterious about what's to come. Most of what is found in this installment reads like more of the same. Read Full Review
