Our protagonist confronts his past head on, when he finally comes face to face with the woman who broke his heart as a boy. Will Francis continue to wear the mask of "Carver," the callous and cold gentleman of fortune, or will he finally let go of his anger and let his heart guide him once more?
I'm giving this issue a perfect score because I think even with the one bump in the road it's better than 99% of all comics out there. Chris Hunt is showing master level abilities with his writing and artwork to the point that I would gladly place him up there with other such masters in the industry. You don't have to take my word for it, you can check it out yourself. Or not. I get that there are a ton of comics out now. More and more every year it seems and the industry and fanbase as a whole are stuck solidly on superheroes. So if you manage to drop one superhero title this week in favor of something new, something different, then pick up Carver. Because it's something great just waiting for you to discover it.

This is solid storytelling that takes its time and is all the more powerful for it. The only shame (or is it a crime?) is that the third issue isn't already here. Read Full Review
This issue is all about moving the story and the characters forward, which it does well. There are enough hints dropped to ensure that readers will be assuming one thing, when Hunt may be able to deliver something else. Whomever wins the assumption game, I know it will definitely be fun reading this Paris tale. Read Full Review
Carver: A Paris Story #2 was a thrilling read, with Chris Hunt moving his noir story forward in a dramatic fashion. Despite giving us little in the way of development, with some aspects feeling slow, the creator ultimately produced a narrative that builds upon the established mystery, leaving this reader eager for more.

What I see in Carver is the promise of strong storytelling. Hunt understands what works and does it in his story, his familiarity with Carver's world gives him the confidence to use extreme, disturbing circumstances to punch up the tension without violating the overall attentiongiven by the reader. From gunfire to hand holding, he never takes us out of the moment. Read Full Review
