CHAPTER TWO-It's 2024, and we still don't have flying cars, but good news: we're introducing Jack's sniper-toting, fascist-punching girlfriend, and a mysterious new nemesis from the NSA wants to hack back into the world's secrets by leaning hard on human punching-bag Jack McGinnis and his fellow paper jockeys. Order heavy on Image's new hit series if you like fun comics with shootouts, intrigue, a few jokes, and a nice, old-timey cliffhanger.
This is truly a fun story and if you missed the first issue, it would be worth your while to dig through the back issues in your local comic store to pick it up along with this one. Then sit back with a glass of your favorite drink to enjoy the story. Read Full Review
I continue to enjoy the ride we are on with this book. With this issue, it looks like we are starting to round out our cast of characters and finally meeting all of the players involved in this story. Read Full Review
Analog #2 follows on the promise of its first installment with a continuation that expands on the premise and the characters in compelling manner. Jack is a solid protagonist, and Gerry Duggan and David OSullivan have a very promising series on their hands. This one earns a recommendation. Give it a read. Read Full Review
Despite a couple of missteps Analog #2 improves greatly on the premise of the original issue. Gerry Duggan and David O'Sullivan achieve just enough to distinguish themselves amongst the crowded landscape of talented Image creators. Read Full Review
Analog feels more like a gritty detective story than a slick spy thriller because, as awful as the world has become, the world gets the hero it deserves. Jack McGinnis is nobody's fool, but he's no Prince Charming either. But who's more fun anyway? Read Full Review
This issue is a pretty good continuation and development of what was set up in the first installment. The story is intriguing, and I do like the way there are all the clever reminders of what it used to be like before digital culture subsumed our world, plus the contrast between the privacy of analog versus the public nature of digital engagement. A pretty solid second issue. Read Full Review
Beneath all the noir cliches and hard drinking heroes lies a genius science fiction story. Read Full Review
I was mostly disappointed by this issue. After an intriguing premise with a strong back story and memorable characters, I was hoping for more information about the secrets and the villains. Unfortunately, the secrets themselves are still unknown along with their impact, and the villain turns out to be predictable. Read Full Review
Unlike the previous issue, Analog #2 is a lackluster entry that adds little to the world we were introduced to in Analog #1. Read Full Review
After two issues there's even less in this new series to be intrigued by than it seemed at first glance. It may be time to let this idea fade away instead of making copies. Read Full Review
I don't think it will be for everyone, but I like the Hellblazerish vibes I am getting from this book.
Issue 1 was dynamite. This one was pretty good, but not terrific.
