Remender's biting social commentary about media consumption and a desensitized society is worn on the book's sleeve while Deb and Led represent a sliver of hope in their humanity.The contrast in storytelling from issue one to two is dramatic but essential to develop a stronger narrative and it succeeds in every way. Murphy and Hollingsworth are a formidable art team as any in the history of the medium. ‘Tokyo Ghost' is one of the year's best already and deserves to read religiously. Read Full Review

After spending so much time raving about the writing, it's only appropriate that I take some time and rave about how excellent the art is. At this point, Sean Murphy is a household name in the comic reading community, so most, if not all, readers know how exceptional his work is. In addition to his aesthetic just being visually pleasing, it fits the tone ofTokyo Ghost quite well, which is perhaps more important. His visual story telling – from facial expressions and body language to the environment that the characters inhabit – does as much as Remender's script in terms of the development of plot, characters, themes, and the world.

Everything about this issue is a step up from the first (which was already amazing). Once we see where this story is going, Tokyo Ghost stands every chance of being one of the best books in the game. Read Full Review

It's not uncommon for a series to dip a bit following its debut, as the initial stage-setting bonanza gives way to a more measured, beat-driven approach. Tokyo Ghost takes such perceptions and puts them on mute; if anything, issue #2 is even more focused in its world building, forgoing the action insanity of its first issue in lieu of involving back-story and well articulated setup.

Visually stunning with a topical narrative that takes a stance without feeling pretentious, all wrapped in a fun steampunk adventure, Tokyo Ghost #2 is a fantastic complexity of factors that ranks pretty damn high on my list of recommendations. Definitely check it out! Read Full Review

Tokyo Ghost is on track to be another strong title from Remender. The ethos of the main characters is continuing to be a key element of the plot, as it should. Their pains and adversities really come off the page. In conjunction with the such artistic talents, this book is elevated even more. This is definitely a title worth the time and money. There are only two issues out now, so its very easy to catch up. Read Full Review

Not much in this book comes together. It's not exciting. It's not interesting. It's sort of insulting. (I didn't even get into Debbie's costume or how Murphy and Remender seem to think that having a man walking around naked is compensation for her objectification.) Murphy is capable of so much better ("The Wake," "Punk Rock Jesus." that "American Vampire" story he did): even his phoning-it in-art ("Chrononauts") reads so much better than anything he's turned in here. "Tokyo Ghost" #2 just doesn't do anything. Read Full Review

Money well spent
