Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Once Cody Pomeray had L.A.'s elite eating out of his hand; now he's sucking grime from the bottom of their pools. But that's just his parole gig. His real job? Sneaking away from the watchful eye of Quemando - his hot parole officer - and scouring the bars of Venice Beach with to find an arsonist who's been torching pads all over town. Then Cody walks into the wrong condo, and dreams of freedom pretty much go up in smoke.
I enjoyed this issue as much as the first and I'm hoping that the goodness continues. Read Full Review
Reviewing the first issue of the series I declared my love for this fantastic 80s set story and that love stays as strong after the second. There have been some great noir/thriller books out over the last few years, but Ex-Con has a little something special to it that makes me crave more. Burns illustrations perfectly setting the stage for Swiercynski to tell his terrific tale of crime, lust and arson. Find a little room on your pull list for Cody, highly doubt you will regret it.

Ex-Con #2 isn't the best of follow-ups, feeling more like a slow burning filler. It does however give some entertaining moments, with the narration allowing for deep character development. Due to this the issue scrapes through with a recommendation, but if you didn't read the first issue, then maybe this is worth missing. Read Full Review
