This book is not only one of stereotypes and kids brought together so we can have fun watching them try to survive, but it brings issues and observations from our own lives, to the forefronts of our thoughts. We tend to let topics that need discussing slide by, while we talk about things that do not need as much attention, like materialism, or how many likes a photo of ours got on Instagram. These kids are being thrown into the basics of life: the wild. No cell phone service. No internet access. Just them, and a will to survive. No Mercy is both entertaining and eye-opening, teaching us a lesson I think we all need to learn. There are bigger and more important things than friend counts and reblogs and inbox numbers… This book is a must read, so go pick it up. Seriously, right now. Go. And tell me what you think of it. Happy reading! Read Full Review

There is a lot of good stuff in this issue but there is also a lot that takes away from the experience, mostly due to the tone of the story clashing with the art.

Odd choices like this make No Mercy #2 a discordant reading experience. Some sections soar while others drag, but they never cohere until the issues conclusion. De Campi and McNeil are managing a lot of moving pieces, but that's not an excuse for a narrative that takes place in a 100 foot radius to feel so fractured. It is only when a shared threat appears at the end that all of these different elements begin to feel like they are sharing the same setting and story. Read Full Review
