THE SAGA OF DICK TRACY CONTINUES IN A NEW ONGOING SERIES FROM MAD CAVE!
Dick Tracy, the iconic, yellow-clad detective, returns in a must-read noir reimagining from writers Alex Segura and Michael Moreci and artist Geraldo Borges. As the City reels from the events at the Green Eye Diner, Dick Tracy must try and piece together the clues to not only discover the gunman behind the slaughter - but the man who gave the order. Who could the new player be? And how does intrepid reporter Tess Truehart fit in? A gritty, hardboiled tale that honors everything fans love about Dick Tracy-with an unforgettable twist.

This is a superb crime/adventure comic that makes a 70 year old comic strip look brand new. Excellent scripting combined with an art team working at the highest level make this a must read for both fans of the franchise and newbies to the hard-nosed detective. Read Full Review
Borges delivers some beautiful art throughout the issue. Not only do the characters look great, but the environments including the city are wonderfully detailed. Read Full Review
I can tell this is going to be a great run. With Mad Cave behind it and decades of characters to play with. I hope the team dives into the toy box of time and pulls out some very deep and off-the-wall characters. Read Full Review
DICK TRACY #2 widens the scope and scale of Dick Tracy's investigation into a murder, leading to corruption, conspiracies, and the possible start of a gang war. Moreci and Segura deliver a proper detective noir story buoyed by Borges's shadowy art. However, the artwork lacks the character exaggerations that are a hallmark of a Dick Tracy comic, and a strange plot hole takes you out of the middle of the story. Read Full Review
Few comics are worth $4.99 these days, but this on is truly an exception. This issue was every bit as thrilling as the last. It was an interesting point to pick for this series to take place, as post-war America was an exciting time. It also adds to Tracy's intrigue as he's still haunted by memories of the war. It should provide much insight for some time to come. It's also good to see Pat Patton as well. The original comic strip featured a vast assortment of unique characters. I'm looking forward to seeing more like Junior, Sam Catchem and the amusing comic relief of B.O. Plenty and Gravel Gertie. Plus many more classic foes like Influence, the Blank, Littleface and many more. I'm truly excited about this series.
The action, adventure more
This is a joy from beginning to end. Perfect pacing, snappy dialogue and some genuinely hilarious panels. This is top of the reading pile from now on.
We are introduced to some new characters here as we lose one. The murder and case are a bit mundane for my taste. I hope it gets deeper without the plot becoming too convoluted. I'm glad to see Flattop as the main villain and I do like the introduction to Pat Patton. I would like to see Tracy with more support characters.
