The first issue of Deadweights was such a great introduction into a new world that lived up to every expectation I had for it. With issue #2 we dive a little deeper into this world and see if the creators can keep an audience hooked on this story.

In this issue we see our two protagonist dealing with the consequences of their actions by being taken in by a superhero team. They soon find out that this moment is an opportunity for them to possibly seek redemption. As the story continues in issue 2 we see more of the world of the superheroes and how their existence creates a class of haves and have nots with the villains. While I really enjoyed the elements at play here I felt that they rushed through these events to get to an obvious conclusion. That all being said this is only the second issue of a series, and with the strength of issue #1 I have some faith that there is a plan at play here.
The art is this issue keep the same level of quality from issue #1. I really enjoy the way Sebastian draws the homebase of the superheroes. It feels almost like a chapel in how it is presented, somewhere to strive to be or be a part of. He also does a fantastic job of designing new characters that just by their presence the reader can tell how important they are. Overall Sebastian does a wonderful and skillful job of presenting the story and world to the reader.

I thought that issue #2 of Deadweights was a small step down from issue #1. While I still enjoyed the character interactions and the new environments, this part of the story felt a bit rushed. I still think that this comic has the chance to be a great flights and tights comic for those seeking something new outside the big two, and would still recommend checking it out even if that recomendation is slightly lower than it was after issue #1.
Deadweights #2 will be available at your local comic shop and digital storefronts on May 8th 2024. All cover art, preview pages, and the review copy of this title were provided by Ahoy Comics.
