In the underworld court known as the White Church, Harvey Dent is asked to litigate the divorce of the Royal Flush Gang's King and Queen of Hearts. But there's much more at stake than assets in this trial--in fact, it's a matter of life and death! When cheating allegations surround the King, it's up to Harvey and his new assistant, Lake Cantwell, to clean up the monarch's mess. And why does Harvey get the sneaking suspicion that someone is pulling the strings and threatening to send Gotham's criminal underworld into a frenzy?
Two-Face #2 builds upon this mysterious story of who is out to bring Harvey and his work crashing to the ground. We see both the smart and short-tempered sides to him in this issue and begin to understand the relationship connecting the two sides of his personality. The art is incredibly vibrant and impressive capping off an intriguing second issue. Read Full Review
Two-Face is an exciting new noir that isn't afraid to be dark or campy as well. In this issue, Christian Ward seemingly embraces the theme of splits, dividing Harvey and Two-Face, Jaina Hudson and White Rabbit, and the King and Queen. Two-Face and Harvey have never felt more distinct or bold. For instance, Two-Face shows up in fiery Freddy Kruger-like images, haunting Harvey's mind prison. On a negative note, when Batman shows up, the silliness of the court premise seems childish and unnecessary. I'm falling in love with the combination of Veras' illustration and the colorful palette. I'm not going to say much about the “Shadow Hand” reveals, but I'm looking forward to where this concept and Two-Face's mind altogether. Read Full Review

We learn more about Lake Cantwell's past and investigative abilities. Can Harvey and Lake save the villains before they destroy each other? It is an entertaining story that will leave you wondering why these attacks are happening. Christian Ward continues to grow his twisted idea at Gotham Justice, while Fabio Veras and Ivan Plascencia bring exotic visuals to the wild world of Harvey Dent. Read Full Review
Some clunky pacing in the middle but pretty good overall. My bias to like this pushes it to an 8.
Liking the art. Reminds me of Sean Phillips.
Fun evil court drama comic. I really hope the shadow hand isn't just two-face but it feels that way. I'd like it to be someone else or Harvey overcomes two-face and keeps this persona for a few years to help spice up the bat comics a little. I remember when clayface was changed and became a part of the bat team. It was great. However I feel even if he changes in this book the rest of DC\bat continuity will just ignore what happens here.
