The Sheriff of Babylon, Vol. 2: Pow. Pow. Pow.
by Tom King
I needed a few moments after I finished this one. Goddamn it King, can you write something that sucks please?
So yeah. After volume 1 I took a long time to read this because it's only 2 volumes and wanted to stretch it out. Well damn I read this in one sitting in 25 minutes. I was GLUED to my seat reading this amazing book. So what happens? Well our three main characters are all coming together to take down the "big bad terrorist" but is he really that? Who really is the bad guy? Who deserves to die and live? What is a HERO? So many questions begin to pile up, and those aren't simple answers you can give, and by the end you basically have NO action scenes and yet one of the most enthralling and nail biting books I read in a LONG time.
Good: The dialog. Oh sweet Christmas (watching Luke Cage Season 2 right now) it's so damn good. It's done in a realistic way yet the questions they ask, it's hard hitting, and the way the character's don't have that "I'm the good guy here" vibe is perfect. The art is fantastic, and works on so many levels, and let me just say the ending...damn it. I fucking loved it. Everything about this, pacing and plotting, is perfect.
Bad: Not a damn thing.
This is a classic. While I loved volume 1, it was volume 2 that solidified it for me. This is a scary book to read because of how much gray is here, but it's well worth it. You want a powerful, hard hitting, and thought provoking book? Look no further than this.
