The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage hasnt gotten much fanfare from DC Comics, and thats a real surprise. Perhaps its because its a Black Label book, or perhaps its because The Question isnt one of their bestselling characters, but whatever the reason it likely means that many readers are missing out on a hidden gem from their catalog. Highly recommended. Read Full Review

The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage #2 is not as strong as its opening issue was but its damn good. A western is kind of perfect for The Question because of the inherent man with no name mystery that surrounds Vic. See you next time for more Vic but this time in 1941. Read Full Review

I was a little unsure of this series from the first issue but simply loved this second issue. The western setting, the nature of good and evil, and the idea of The Question fighting this battle in the past and present is a fascinating one. The art is dark and absorbing, telling the tale in smaller moments and big montage moments perfectly well. If you're interested in the battle of good and evil, you won't want to miss this.

This is the series to read. If the writing can accomplish what it has done steadily for two issues and the art can stay at the level it's at, this is going to be one of the great ones. Two straight issues have been able to explore two different characters’ duality while weaving an inventive story around them. I haven’t read many comics that have done this and don’t know of any others doing it now. If you’re a fan of cerebral comics, this is the one to pick up. Read Full Review

"The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage" #2 presents a horrifying lesson for Vic Sage to learn about himself. Read Full Review

If you liked the first issue's tone, expect to be very satisfied with The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage #2 " but if those elements took away from your enjoyment, the problem is doubled in this issue. Read Full Review

Jeff Lemire, Denys Cowan, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Chris Sotomayor use the creative freedom of the Black Label imprint to tell what is a damn fine dark Western with some mystical elements. They show how shitty the 1880s were with a loose, gruesome approach to the violence instead of something more stylized. In the bigger picture of the miniseries, it digs into Charlie/Vic/The Question's identity a little bit more setting upcoming ideas and revelations as Lemire and Cowan continues to jump eras in both plot and visuals.

Ultimately, while not as specific to my tastes as the first issue, this is another stellar entry. It's a heavy diversion from the last and looks to be so again in the next. Cowan and Sienkiewicz manage to make a tough read even tougher with their raw and unfiltered art. This is a great comic, unlike almost any other on the stands right now. Read Full Review

I am interested to see where the series goes. The one big takeaway from issue #2 is that Vic now has his mission: kill the man with a thousand faces. Other than that the issue was just good ol wild west violence which is always fun. Pick up a copy at your local comic book shop or wherever you get your comics. Read Full Review

So while I felt the full extra size story of The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage #2 was a little thin it still provides a solid read. It has some emotional moments while showing just how bad the world can get. I will be interested to see how the next issue picks up the narrative and where the creative team takes it from here.

Denys Cowan, Bill Sienkiewicz, and Chris Sotomayor really steer this issue. They set the tone for what should be a great series. If you can't enjoy the story, at least we have a great artbook. And also, out of all the names Vic Sage could have made for himself “living in the past” he chooses Victor Szasz? Clearly, the man has never seen Back to the Future. Read Full Review

This miniseries, while a little slow, is proving to be an emotional and compelling character study. Read Full Review

Just keep getting better. awesome.

Prelude:
The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage had a wonderfully great first issue. Let's see how Lemire goes with this second one.

The Good:
I love the historic look in this issue.

Actually liked the art more this time around.

Plays well into who The Question is.

I love that cliffhanger.

The Bad:
Nothing.

Conclusion:
Another great issue though very different from issue one. It'll be interesting to see how these all tie together.

Straight up my favourite mini-series out right now.

İlk sayının sonunda Lemire'in nasıl devam edebileceğine dair şüpheye düşmüştüm fakat iyi bir temanın üzerinden kaliteli bir atmosferle öyküsünü sürdürebilmesi takdir edilesi. Bu sayıda aslında bir western öyküsü okuduk diyebiliriz. Yolu vahşi batıya düşen Sage'in yaşadığı bir olay örgüsü anlatılıyor bizlere. İlk sayıdaki yüzük ve yüzüğün sembolüne dair pek bir şey öğrenebilmiş değiliz ancak bu sayı zaten biraz daha episodikti. Şunu da bir noktada kabul etmem gerekir ki bu sayıdaki hikâyeye kendimi verebilmek yerine aklım sürekli olarak ilk sayıya gitti. Çünkü Hub City'de hâlâ daha bir ayaklanma ve kaos söz konusu, üstelik oradaki son durum nedir onu da bilemiyoruz. Aklımın sürekli oraya gitmesi belki de bu sayıdaki ana bağın tam amacına ulaşamamasından kaynaklanıyor olabilir. Lemire, oldukça kısa bir süre içerisinde Sage ile Sage'in kurtardığı bir kasabalı olan Booker'ın arasında duygusal bir bağ kurmaya çalışmış ama her ne kadar kurmaya çalışılan bu ilişki fazla batmasa da öykünün, o bağı iyi bir şekilde kullanabildiğini düşünmüyorum. Çünkü finaldeki Sage'in, Booker'ı gördüğü sahne yazarın amaçladığı duygusal etkiyi okuruna ulaştıramıyor. Yine de dediğim gibi, okurken fazla rahatsızlık duyabileceğiniz bir olay değil bu. Tekrar başka bir noktasını ilk sayıyla karşılaştıracak olursam, bu sefer hikâye akışını takip edebilmenin o kadar zor olmadığını gönül rahatlığıyla söyleyebilirim. Hatta hiç değil. Kısa ama öz ve ilk sayıda olduğu gibi oldukça sert bir western öyküsü okuyorsunuz. Şiddetli sahneler, zaten devam etmekte olan kasvetli senaryoya psikolojik olarak daha da güç veriyor ve belirli motiflerle birlikte kurulan kompozisyon çalışmaları, Sage'in kendisini öğrenmesini sağlayan sınava dair çok temiz bir anlatı sunuyor. Tek başına kendi sayı içerisindeki öyküsüne dair vermesi gereken ne varsa size onu veren fakat daha da ötesine gitmeyen, genel hikâyenin devamlılığına dair alınan bazı bilinçli kararların tartışmaya açık olduğu bir devam sayısı bu sayı. Her okuyucu, sayfaların başından memnun ayrılmayabilir. İlk sayı kadar olmasa da yine de lezzetli ve benim aradığımı bulduğum bir sayıydı. more

Not as impactful as the first, but still a great issue. Art by Cowan and inks by BS are top notch as always, love the style. This issue takes Vic on his first journey back into, more specifically, the Wild West. It plays the culture of the West carefully with the character of this version of Vic Sage, and builds up more into the conspiracy behind Hub City, but also leaves even more questions. Again, writing, art, pacing are good. Looking forward to the next issue.

This is better than issue one, simply because it's not drawing direct parallels to a previous run and, confusingly, getting it wrong. I don't really see this as a Question comic. But for what it is, it's enjoyable.

I’m really not a big time travel or many lives or whatever kind of person. That being said, I did think that a lot of the content here was really solid. It had some lines that I thought were very good. So yeah, I liked this more than last issue for sure.

The art sells it.
