I kind of loved a lot of this haha. I'm confused by the lower ratings.
So second sight is about a guy who takes mushrooms and then can be in the eye of victims or killers. It's a double edged power because it can help lead the police to help solve crimes but the crimes already have to take place. So the story here is Ray Pilgrim is brought back into this world after opting out of it because of a killer called the Reaper who nearly drove him insane. His teenage daughter wants to solve a crime ring who abducts little kids and murders them. In doing so these people aren't playing games and begin to come after our heroes.
Good: I really enjoyed the art. I also thought the main character, Ray Pilgrim , and his daughter were both interesting. I thought the power was neat and I actually liked that the "bad" guys were pretty smart here, and that this didn't just have a happy ending.
Bad: I thought it rushed through some things, mostly two major deaths. It was really the pacing that kind of hurt this otherwise really interesting story.
I really dug Second Sight. I hope they keep up their quality here with this one and it made me want to check out more of David Hine's work! A 3.5 out of 5 but I'll bump it to a 4.

Dobre napsany detektivni pribeh o chlapkovi co diky houbickam se dokazal dostat do hlavy vrahum ve chvili kdy nekoho vrazdi. Necekal jsem od toho nic, a dostal jsem dospely pribeh ktery neni naivni a ukazuje ze na nektere hajzly proste nejde dpsahnout. Dost me taky bavila Mysteriozni linka o sado maso vrahovi co ppustel svym obetem snuff porno. Cele to bylo sympaticke, dobre napsane, vtipne kdy melo byt a jednalo se o skvelpu jednohubku s prijemnou kresbou.
Skoda jen ze colorista sloro ze vsech holek delal blondynky a ne vsechny zahady se vysvetlili. Aftershock jede a pomalu se radi k me vydavatelske topce.

4.8/5 stars
The art is not among my favorite, but it’s gritty, and that shows the type of comic this is.
Ray Pilgrim is a drug addict and alcoholic, but that doesn’t mean that what he sees isn’t real. I wasn’t too sure at first what the “second sight” would entail, but he (and his daughter) have the ability to see the present alongside the future. Well, okay, not see the future since “no one can do that” (issue 1, page 10), but a remote viewing of the future. Something that is possible.
Something that is real based on the present.
His daughter, Toni, is determined to oust “The Wednesday Club”—a group of high ranking officials in various forms of leadership that has abused (and sometimes killed) children for over 24 years. It’s pedophilia to the extreme and the reader can’t help but root for her.
Too, Ray has been mentally abused by a former psychopath called the Reaper. One of the main arcs of his story is how he battles that past demon.
One of the former children (and a Club member) is a man named Carl. His mom had it rough and works to make it up to him. When he goes missing, there is a scene with the mom.
The worry in her eyes is very evident and heart wrenching. That is some good artwork there.
It seems that only special mushrooms allow Ray and Toni to tap the psychic abilities, and that is the worst thing I found with the comic.
The next worst thing is that neither Ray nor Toni can see the demons that possess people at times. That is a wonderful portrayal of how a lot of our negative emotions and reactions are caused by minor demons, enjoying disruptions to our lives.
Because the comic takes place years after Ray’s issues, about, oh, 17 years since Toni is nearly 18 (though she looks and acts older), there is a new detective on the case. I knew something was up with him midway through issue 3.
The former officer is awesome.
This is a really good series and I can’t believe I didn’t want it a few years ago, but it allowed me to read it all at once!
