More MI6 adventures for the star of TV’s Pennyworth! While investigating the possibility of nuclear weapons in a Soviet military base near the arctic circle on behalf of MI6, Alfred and Shirley find the real danger is something they never expected: a human science experiment gone terrifyingly wrong! Meanwhile, in the present, Alfred tries to figure out just who of his many enemies has it out for him this time…
Although, this issue is light on action, it is very emotionally engaging and visually appealing. Read Full Review
What is particularly outstanding in Pennyworth #2 is that Wilson manages to balance the mysteries with a real sense of emotional weight. This is a fantastic issue. Read Full Review
I definitely want to stick around for the next issue, just so I can keep up with all the mysteries. Read Full Review
Pennyworth #2 resumes the spy-thriller with some excellent action...What makes this series shine so far is that it is unequivocally a story about Alfred Pennyworth. The cast is very small, and so far no guest stars have appeared that may threaten to overshadow him. And so far, they aren't needed. Read Full Review
Alfred works best as a hard-boiled traditional spy, so having him go up against shape-shifting super-soldiers with gun arms doesn't quite work. Still, solid characterization and visuals. Read Full Review
I really like the presentation with the lettering, especially how Alfred takes the time to reflect on things. The way his dad prepared him for a life he never knew would turn out, and the suspense of how this might turn out. I mean what happened to Shirley? And what's Alfred's current predicament about if it's related to his spying days?
This is okay. I don't find it particularly engaging.
It's an art to be this boring in so many, many, many, many words.
