In Issue 2, the ladies of the Kitchen continue to hang tough, kick butt, collect money...and get abused because of their gender. The panel compositions and dialogue still feel like a TV show to me (not a bad thing) and the colors and line work are still as crisp and 70s as a stylish pantsuit. I would like to learn more about these women. Clearly, Raven is traditional, Kath is hard-boiled, and Angie is getting over her timidity. They seem to be mothers as well. I'd just like more backstory! I have issues 3 and 4 queued up, so we'll see where it goes.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about Kitchen #2, I mainly just wish there were more details on the characters and the actual story. I might continue with the next issue just to see if it picks up a bit.
