Silver Volume 2

Silver #2

by Stephan Franck

Set in Bram Stoker's original Dracula universe, 50 years hence into the pulp era of the 1930's, SILVER Vol. 2 continues the adventures of master-thief James Finnigan, Rosalynd "Sledge" Van Helsing, and their team of talented but troubled individuals, as they endeavor to steal an ancient treasure hidden in Dracula's castle. Suspense, humor, intense character moments and enthralling world-building ensue as the team reaches the castle, and the veil continues to lift on SILVER's rich and unique mythology. Volume 1 in the series was nominated for the 2014 Russ Manning Award at San Diego Comic Con, and for the 2015 Geekie Award for Best Comic or Graphic Novel.

The story has definitely picked up from the first volume. More world building, more character development, more plot and action.

I’m still not entirely sold on Franck’s idea of Sledge’s main outfit. Some of the panels are really hard to decipher. However, I can feel a better connection to the characters and plot than I did in the last one.

Overall, a good continuation of the heist story from volume one with more vampires in the way I like my vampires.

What's it say when I binge read both Silver Volume 1 and 2 on a weekend where I picked up many good books at a C2E2, a Chicago-based comic book convention? That it's a hard-to-put-down graphic novel. Stephan Franck knows how to visually tell a story, even in black and white. As supervising animator on the classic animated movie, Iron Giant, he employs the same knowledge of capturing a scene into Silver. His lighting and art decisions keeps the reader thoroughly engaged from beginning to end.

This is a terrific, fun read. Highly recommended.

See my volume 1 review. The story drew me in almost immediately and the female characters are stellar. No complaints so far. Excellent read.
