Second Chances #1

by Ricky Mammone

Second Chances Hotline—call now and get a new identity! All you need is some cash, a proper referral, and a very good reason to start over. When Leblanc, the man behind the hotline, is approached by a shady figure from his past, he's forced to accept a new client who doesn't meet any of the requirements—a client with chemically induced amnesia in desperate need of protection. Up-and-coming writer RICKY MAMMONE and artist MAX BERTOLINI (The Witcher, Nathan Never) explode onto the scene with this psychedelic, action-packed, bizarre noir that feels like John Wick punching through an existential French New Wave fever dream.

Very cliche story. I did enjoy the artwork.

Whoa. What a great book right out the gate. It has noir style, engaging writing, dark art and lots of mystery. Looking forward to where it goes.

I found this one to be very curious. The first single issue was all over the place and hard to follow, but it also had a lot of promise and intrigue. I have no clue what's happening with the demon serum thing that is making people killers, but I do want to find out more. I think I was mostly just drawn to the idea of second chances and whether or not people are worthy of them. I like that Leblanc has to be the one that decides whether or not he will get them a new life, it goes into the whole concept of whether people can really change and are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.
