This was definitely something. I like where this is going.

I'm really enjoying this series so far! I'm liking how the plot line seems to be heading in a dark direction. The one thing that is bugging me is the major lack of character development. I'm hoping that in the next few volumes I become a bit more attached to the characters.

It was another mind blowing volume of Deadly Class. It was disturbing yet somehow relatable. Of course I’m no killer, but there are themes in here that are relatable. Being with someone while really actually liking someone else, wanting revenge, letting people in and facing your past. I can’t wait to read volume 3!

Creo que este cómic no es para mí. A priori tiene un montón de cosas que me llaman pero luego lo leo y para nada. Además me echan muchísimo para atrás las dos escenas de animales que ha tenido la verdad.

Un tomo interesante porque ya comenzamos a ver más dentro de la academia donde a ido a parar Marcus, con sus facciones y profesores. Además de que vemos por primera vez a quien posiblemente sea el villano de todo este arco, el terrible 'F*ckface'.

Ese arte y el color son excelentes, la historia nada mal, y entiendo que apenas va tomando forma.

I am sad that I don't have the next issue. I really want to keep reading this. Marcus is the name of our protagonist. He's done some bad things in the past that we have not heard much about yet. He found his place in the school with the freaks. Virtually everyone reading this series is going to have had a similar experience. Boy, do they know their audience. I bet they've been there.
The art continues to be wonderful. In fact, I would venture to say that it was stunning in this issue. Vibrant when needed, but still heavy on the 80s color pallet. I enjoy Willie's character. He seems like a good guy, and he's going to be an ally for Marcus. Saya doesn't want to say-anything to Marcus in front of the other students, even though she vouched for him. Either she doesn't want to lose face with her crowd, or she is angry about the punishment she revcieved for saving him. Something has to be up with that.
The offensive humor is really making me chuckle. Oh, the 80s--when you could say almost anything and get away with it. One of my favorite bits of offensive humor of ALL TIME will forever be Richard Pryor and Chevy Chase's "Word Association" sketch from Saturday Night Live! I realize this is the 70s, but the comedy is right ... check it out:
(See full commentary for video here: http://www.rjspindle.com/content/dead... )
That is the funniest piece of television I have ever seen. When Pryor's face starts to twitch ... I just lose it. I love it when the audience loses it when he says, "your moma!"
In any case, if you're not reading this series yet, and you've read all this commentary--stop reading what I have to say and go pick this up! I'm totally sold on the concept, the art is beautiful, and the execution of both is very well done thus far. More--I want more!

Nothing original. Orphan boy, gets admitted to a secret boarding school, everyone hates him, there are cliques, then there is this special girls.. Yada-yada-yada.
I'm not even saying it's Harry Potter with Assassins instead of magic. It's just what we have seen 9000 times in books, shows and movies about underdogs being admitted into special secret circles, and being secretly special and better than everyone else. Except this time it's with murder.
Art-work is pretty neat though.

So definitely way more gross-out poop-jokes and visual cues than the last one which turned me off a bit--I understand the need to heighten the general ickiness with grit etc.--but it's just not as artful as the last volume. This one dealt more with the whole teenage-battle-for-true-perspective and still maintains the whole mean girls-meets-nikita-meets-watchmen vibe going on in the last novel but it just seems...more rushed. I don't know. Still good, but not as.

En este segundo tomo nos cuentan la historia de la escuela y su propósito. Los chicos que asisten a ella juzgan bastante a nuestro personaje principal y éste asiste a 4 clases para mejorar la forma de asesinar a una persona. El arte me sigue gustando mucho y el final me ha dejado con ganas de más. Aún así, necesito que se profundice más en la historia.

Feels a bit like Hogwarts, the whole setup in this issue - I loved it. :D
As usually, don't forget the letters section and listen through all the music there ^_^

I like where this could be headed to... I guess I'll have to wait and see.

All of a sudden, hot damn. The mounting bad assery in this second novel is just too good!

Damn, hell of a place to leave off... good thing I'm doing single issues so I don't have to wait!

I really like this so far.

Cautiously optimistic, because I don't know if Remender is going to get dogmatic (see Ales Kot) but this seems quite promising. There's some very good writing here.
