A strong second issue with tons of action. Read Full Review
The art is still consistently superb and the writing is engaging as a new superhero is coming into form in Gotham City. Read Full Review
In Ragman (2017-) #2, writer Ray Fawkes provides the reader with some added insight into not only Rory's life, but also into the myth/legend surrounding Ragman. With only four issues remaining in this run, Fawkes is making excellent use of his time; we're moving full-speed ahead. Read Full Review
Worth the buy, as Fawkes and Miranda are at the top of their game, and Ragman is a hero we all need to know. Read Full Review
What I dislike the most is the lack of patches that used to make up Ragmans costume. It lacks the patchwork feel and makes him look more like a mommy fighting with drapes than random pieces of fabric. His old costume made him unique. This design makes him look generic. The patches could be coloured with multiple colours, although a mix of greens, browns and beiges was usually used. This costume lack personality. Personality is not lacking in the execution of the rest of the comics artwork. As the series has already ended, my commentary may be useless and too late. Read Full Review
Ragman #2 (of 6) continues to introduce this “new” character into the DCU. Things are getting more heated as demons and other creatures are after Rory; he is going to have to learn how to use his newfound power quickly before it gets taken away from him. This series has definitelybeen new-reader-friendly. Fawkes does a great job of keeping you interested in the story and wanting to come back to learn more about this “hero”. While the art is not bad, it could use a little refining in the story-telling department, but that does not mean some scenes are not well done and a lot of fun to look at. Read Full Review
So far, Ray Fawkes' Ragman leaves a lot to be desired in terms of character. The surreal visual storytelling, the abstract and mystical tone, and the fast-paced and frantic action scenes are all stunningly told through Inaki Miranda's dynamic art and Eva De La Cruz's flavorful color style. Yet, both are in service of a rather hectic plot that struggles to find time to really build Rory as a character. Read Full Review
This comic book covers a very interesting topic that needs more exposure, but the narrative barely advances at all. The art team is putting out some very interesting layouts and expert design, which could be worth the cover price alone. This issue will play better for the trade collection. Read Full Review
While the first half continues the trend of last issue, the second half quickly sinks the issue. Im not high on this book right now, but I see potential in this team and have confidence that they can right the ship. Read Full Review
Never knew much about Ragman. Well glad I grabbed issue one of six, because issue 2 was another solid issue, and like the pace and storytelling from the great Fawkes.Art from Miranda is really solid and it gels great together. I'm really enjoying this even though I never knew much about him. So all around good book.
Love the art; digging the story. Can't wait for more.
Had zero expectations for this series, so this is a pleasant surprise. The art is great and so is the action. Definitely interested enough to stick this out. Man, really digging all these minis DC is producing with Nightwing, White Knight, Captain Atom, Swamp Thing from earlier in the year...just fun stuff. Looking forward to the upcoming Demon mini next.
Interested to see where this goes since I am not very familiar with the character. The dark art works well to convey the action and turmoil Rory is dealing with. It gives me a Venom vibe, if the symbiote were a bunch of dead soldiers.
The confusing side of the story is still there in this second issue, but I'm starting to think it's the basis of this character I did not know before. It's ot always clear who's speaking and what is the role of all the characters we're seeing, but the art is go great that it compensate for a part of this. Being a limited 6-issue series, I'll probably keep them in my pull list to see where is goes, but I'm not sure I'd stay if it was on ongoing. Still a good read, but not essential.
