Didn’t have that same magic the first issue had. This was really cliché. Plus I didn’t follow what happened when Fiona went into the cabin where the coin was at. Hopefully the next issue is better.

Image Comics’ THE SILVER COIN #2, available now, is the second issue in this horror anthology created by Michael Walsh, Ed Brisson, Jeff Lemire, Kelly Thompson, and Chip Zdarsky. This time it’s Thompson (Captain Marvel, Hawkeye) and Walsh (Black Hammer, Star Wars) who have been set free to terrify readers.
I can’t really speak for anyone else out there, but I have been really digging what the comic industry has been putting out for horror lately. This anthology promises to be more spine-tingling goodness, with works from Michael Walsh, Ed Brisson, Jeff Lemire, Kelly Thompson, and Chip Zdarsky.
If you didn’t get a chance to tune into the first installment of this series, never fear. It’s an anthology, so readers can really dive in at any point they so desire. However, I would strongly recommend doubling back and checking out The Silver Coin #1 when you have the chance.
The year is 1993, and young Fiona Watterman is getting ready to head off to summer camp. She knows that it will be nothing like the horror movies that she adores, but still, a girl can hope, right? The Silver Coin #2 is a poignant reminder to be careful what you wish for.

Very cliché and boring, yawn.

É uma história clichê slasher muito bem feita e desenhada! A moeda te mostra o que você gostaria de fazer e não tem coragem? Ou ela te obrigada fazer coisas ruins?

Interesting concept. Liked the Friday the 13th and 80’s campy movie feel. Rock on!

The second issue of The Silver Coin was as mediocre as the first, but it had some redeeming qualities. The excellent artwork and promising initial setup drew me in. Kelly Thompson's exploration of the silver coin's concept showed potential. However, the story felt rushed and the characters lacked depth. Right now, I have issues #3 and #11, but unless the series improves, I might not continue past those.

“The Silver Coin” 2 serves as a blood soaked ode to the entire slasher movie genre. This is the kind of lore that horror legacies are made of, complete with a boastful body count that would make even Jason Voories blush.
Unlike issue 1, there’s no indication of the date. However, judging by the Nirvana and The Lost Boys poster, I’s guess that it can’t be much later than ‘91.
Right off the bat, what drew me in was how expertly Thompson and Walsh were able to convey the inherently evil nature of children. The way that the camp kids torture Fiona for literally no reason at all was an all too familiar reminder of my childhood days.
Thompson is also showing us just how voracious and driven by bloodlust “The Silver Coin” truly is. It has no empathy for the innocent and absolutely no one who gets in its path is safe. When it needs to eat, it will simply rip you to pieces.
Finally, I want to just make a point of saying how impressed I was with Michael Walsh’s panels and pencils were this time around. Some of the images were downright terrifying and appeared much more detailed, deliberate, and intentional.
The best example of this is without a doubt during the fire scene when the Mean Girl in charge (I think her name is Courtney?) tells the story of the serial killer who lives in the woods. The inking on her face, combined with her emerald eyes make her appear downright sinister!
It’s still early to say this, but “The Silver Coin” may just be new new favourite series!

The Silver Coin is an anthology title with each issue acting as a stand-alone story, so this issue has nothing to do with the last one aside from the appearance of the title object. Writer Kelly Thompson works quickly to establish this set of characters and their personalities. You instantly understand how Fiona feels at home and at camp. Plus, those mean girls are total assholes. We get maybe two pages into meeting them and we're already wishing they'd all die.

Very creepy. Spoilers ahead.
Poor Fiona goes to summer camp just to be continued with a bunch of bullies who turned her every day of camp.
One evening, after they viciously cut her long, beautiful braid off, Fiona flees into the woods. She happens upon an eerie cabin with a sort of shrine centered upon a machete adorned with The Coin.
We are led to believe a shadowy being attacks and kills Fiona in addition to all the campers and staff, but it turns out to have been Fiona all along, to her own surprise.

I gave this part of the coin series a 3.5 out of 5. I enjoyed this one as well but not as much as the first installment.
In the second part we follow Fiona to camp where she is bullied by a group of girls. The silver coin is found by Fiona and she basically turns into the killer (with an actual mask/skin on) that is mentioned earlier in the comic.
It was an okay read. I honestly wanted more, it just felt a little unfinished to me. But overall good installment.

Fiona heads to Camp Destiny on her summer break and immediately encounters a snobbish click of girls whose only goal this year is to bully and ridicule her.

This was borrowed to me from a friend who recommended this series. I enjoyed this issue it is a great homage to the camp slasher films. The artwork is great and it is absolutely brutal what happens at the end. Although I don't feel sorry at all for those who die I only feel sorry for Fiona. I think I am going to have to check out more of this series.

Girls of slaughter.
Was pretty excited for the "summer camp" issue. The art was great and I liked how it started out but unfortunately felt like it was cut short. It also reminded me of R. L. Stine's Fear Street. Which is fine, just wish it was explored better.
