"THE FREELANCER," Part One
Mysterious vigilante Renato Jones showed the One% that, for all their money, for all their power, they are not untouchable. But now they're pushing back, and the resulting class warfare may be more than even Renato can handle. When full-time villains control the whole world, the only hero who can take on the job is self-employed...a Freelancer.

KAARE KYLE ANDREWS proudly presents Season Two of the most dangerous comic on the planet!

    Honestly, I could go another 1,000 words about Renato Jones: Freelancer #1, but that would be an injustice to this comic. From the awe-inspiring Spawn Variant to the progression of the plot to the insane action choreography, Andrews is back with a vengeance. This is arguably the best-looking action book in stores right now, and with a story that sees the stakes raise ever higher one can argue its one of the most sociologically sharp books as well. Its a blessing to have Renato Jones back in our lives. Read Full Review

    Newsarama - Justin Partridge May 15, 2017

    In a cheekily-placed double-page ad for the series, sandwiched between the wall-to-wall action of the debut issue and the rest of Kaare Kyle Andrews' beautifully satire starring real-life models, the comic asks "How Do You Feel About Anarchy?" After Renato Jones, Season 2: Freelancer #1, I feel pretty $%@$ing good about it, and I think you will do. The world at large right now feels strange and alien, and we need our art to reflect that. Renato Jones aims to do just that, showing that comics can and should be just as dangerous as the world they inhabit. Read Full Review

    Though a bit confusing, even for a returning reader, the visceral art and storytelling shows why Kaare Andrews is a modern master. While some readers may not want to bring the real-world problems into their comic book escapism, others may find this as a (safe and legal) release for those same issues. Read Full Review

    Outright Geekery - Todd Fisher May 10, 2017

    Renato Jones is one part Fight Club, one part Marshal Law (a great book in its own right) a splash of Sin City and stirred with radical economic politics. While I likely do not agree with the driving philosophical beliefs behind this book, I do quite enjoy the book itself. It is so well done that it transcends ideological divides. This comic holds a mirror up to ourselves and shows us the warts we have become numb too. Read Full Review
