Do you ever wish your life was more normal? Ada Latimer wants to be normal. She owns a quiet little record store. She's in love with her corny (but sweet) boyfriend. But the chance for normalcy vanished when her father Leon abandoned her as a child to search for the mythical record producer George Parker. The ramifications of Leon's quest come back around as Echo, one of the Sustained-a being with the power to alter reality through music-shows up at Ada's shop looking for answers. So much for "normal."
Spectrum #2 excellently expands on the wondrous world building Rick Quinn developed in Issue 1, pushing us further towards the edge of our proverbial seats page after page, panel after panel. The slow burn reveal of the many non-linear plot threads weaving this mystifying pattern together powerfully pulls the reader along, before sending us back to the beginning to experience everything again so that we may fully appreciate the complete narrative. The level of subtle detail permeating each picture provided by artist Dave Chisholm creates an elegant optical delight with layer upon layer of nuance to explore and re-explore. The visual conveyance of emotion and drama, love and loss, excitement and peril, and surreal surroundings all present from cover to cover as we switch back and forth between a world familiar and a world of fantasy is fresh and stylish, and perfectly accompanies this elaborate and riveting story. I cant wait to read issue 3. Read Full Review
