Jered's story: The crime team's forensic pathologist performs an autopsy that reveals a new mystery, a meeting with the native aliens leads to violence and the second day on Amaranth ends in a close encounter with an enigmatic character called...Doll.
This team is really showing how well they work together. Storm Dogs is a very detailed universe that wants to draw you in with the intense character development, and many of the emotional aspects are portrayed extremely well through the artwork. Storm Dogs #2 is definitely taking a different direction from #1, but is full of welcomed developments of a grand sci-fi universe. Read Full Review
All told, this is a pleasantly surprising issue in that it expands on many of the elements that appeared simplistic " even cliched " in the first. But, while it's easy to understand why the exposition was delayed until now (it's always a safe bet to work as much action as possible into the first issue) the anthropological/sociological sci-fi content and the emphasis on character are proving to be the strongest and most compelling aspects of the series, and could easily have formed the foundation of a great first issue. Pacing aside, though, this series is living up to and exceeding the potential that it first showed, and doing something both thoughtful and appealing with the tools and conventions of the science fiction genre.

Overall, a very good second issue of Storm Dogs. I'm very intrigued by this world and characters, I look forward to the next one. (Of course, I expect some good creature action after such a heavy dialogue issue!) Read Full Review
We only know what the main characters know, suspect or wonder, and that's not much. And that is part of the appeal of this book. It keeps you guessing. This is one of those rare books you'll want to read more than once so you can pick up on details you know you missed the first time through. And you'll also want to read the next issue. Right away.

Who is Doll? Who was Doll? Why are indigenous aliens being tortured? More questions I look forward to finding answers to. Read Full Review
