Luke Cage: Gang War #2 has all the right ideas but not enough page count for proper execution. Read Full Review
Luke Cage: Gang War #2 proves the first issue wasn't a fluke, this miniseries is the most egregiously banal repetition of superhero cliches bundled in a meaningless tie-in imaginable; it exceeds satire. Read Full Review
This issue takes a bit of a dip in quality following the starting one, unfortunately. It's not bad, but it feels like it's trying to be wittier and/or funnier than Issue 1 and it just doesn't work as well, in my opinion. However, everything is still solid here. I just wish it was more compelling.
Unintentional humor there at the end, where the baddie gives a speech about "you MAY be wondering how I figured out it was YOU" and hints that someone may have given Cage up, when it's ridiculously obvious that the mayor and wife are these new "mystery vigilantes". Too much plot hanging on a premise that doesn't hold up for a second.
