I wanted to love this book but It gave all the focus to the boring family interactions and skimmed over the almost entire end game with a letter section SMH!
I feel the art is serviceable but not great, small drawings have barely any details and some important stuff they don’t even show.
They skip over so many important details and just jump to another character and never explain them.
The lack of earning the firepower and it just working for the secondary characters really took a lot away from the story and different types of fire are never explored (mostly due to the skipped end game).
I started this series with high hopes but sadly it ended with a whimper.

Fire power book 2 by Robert Kirkman and Chris Samnee.
This hardcover is also the conclusion of the series. Chris Samnee can draw for sure and the script is a fast one. Sadly this was not as good as the first, but it was a fast read with lots of action and still ok, just not as cool as the first book.

I read this in one sitting in about 100 minutes and it was a fun time. Yet it's not as good as book one.
Not because of the art, the book still looks fantastic.
Book one ended I really liked the opening arc, where people's mind's are being taken over and a looming danger can be felt throughout. Very quickly the protagonists are pulled back into action and it's all great, just until the supernatural stuff happens and the 'true' antagonist emerges.
This is very close to the third act of the Shang-Chi movie: The hero fights a dragon using supernatural abilities. It wasn't good in the movie and it's not good here. Why is the main character stronger than the entire army on earth? What is the purpose of the villain? Why are there new characters introduced if they are just cannon fodder?
This whole final arc drags the book down. The very final confrontation in the book is against a human again and it's so much better than the whole dragon fights before.
Also, the hadokens are obtained very easily here, even though masters have trained years for it, again no satisfactory explanations.
It might sound like I hated this book, but I really had a good time with it. I just wished the final act was more kung-fu and less supernatural. Also, what's the point of Ling Zan to the story?
Still recommended though!

This book is not a disappointment. Together, these two volumes have made a fantastic start to the story of a man who was involved in something important, turned his back on it to build an entirely different life, and is now being drawn into his past again. The re-emergence of Owen’s past is set to affect him, his wife, his children, and even his old friends and enemies in ways that none of them entirely comprehend. I liked Fire Power as much as I did: it’s about a man who is very much in the middle of his life and has to look back at and confront his past, while also protecting the family he has built in the present. This tension, of what’s more important, past or future, runs throughout both volumes one and two. It is a solid hook upon which to set a secret martial arts story, and that genre is a great one in which to utilize Samnee and Wilson’s particular artistic talents. Maybe it’s no wonder, then, that Fire Power is a hit for me, given it combines so many elements I truly love.

Great finish to an awesome and wholesome story. Very nicely paced story. Art work is fantastic.
