    Overall, this was a very good issue of Blood Syndicate. Thorne, ChrisCross, Quintana and Castro are giving this book their all. While it falters in small areas, its still well worth your time! Read Full Review

    If you enjoy your super heroes with a realistic, hard edge then Blood Syndicate is the series for you. In the vein of The Boys or the work of Spike Lee, this gritty urban aesthetic is a winning formula. Read Full Review

    Blood Syndicate #2 does an excellent job of laying out how the main character's life has fallen apart since he left for the military.

That said, the main character doesn't give readers a reason to get emotionally invested in his journey, and the dialog is a chore to get through in spots. Read Full Review

    This issue focuses almost entirely on Hannibal White's return from the Army and the deconstruction fatigue is real. I enjoy the art, though. Read Full Review

    Thorne has laid enough foundation that it's time to start making Blood Syndicate interesting or else readers might need to wait for Season 2 to be properly engaged. Read Full Review
