Astonishing Times Issue #2 Review
Okay, it feels like nothing happens in issue #2 of “Astonishing Times” by Frank J. Barbiere, Arris Quinones and Ruaire Coleman. The first edition ended with a little twist and protagonist Noah Sans is now leading a covert investigation into a mystery murder that seems to a part of a devious conspiracy.

The issue begins with a colorful retro flashback to Kokin’s past, the former superhero who Noah teams up with; however the rest just follows Noah’s efforts to retrieve some confidential documents that belonged to his late journalist father. Since the cover has Kokin on it, I expected a little more back-story, but all we know is that he was once a famous superhero who now lives anonymously.
All the events were a little rushed and too conveniently timed, it felt more like a forgettable filler. However, the creators close the chapter with a big twist, so it definitely leaves you wanting to find out more.
It’s a 3 on 5 from me.
