I've been waiting for this one. Issue #1 of Danger Club was a hell of an opener and here in issue #2 , Landry Q. Walker takes us to more new places with only the slimmest of connection to what we say in the first issue. Opening with a speech from a previous American Spirit who is now an elderly man speaking out against the Sidekicks and their antics, we are greeted with such a WTF??! moment on page two that youll find yourself locked in to the rest of the fairly loose issue because of it. 
Kid Vigilante leads newly introduced Ladybug into his hidden lair and reveals a secret to her that could explain the WTF moment later on but for now it just adds intrigue. Then we cut across to the robot fighting girl from issue #1 , Yoshimi Onomoto flying through the city (full of flying cars and giant robots by the way) and get a whole balls out battle with her and some kid officials in giant robot suits like it's an everyday occurance. This element is a lot of fun but its the Kid Vigilante, who feels even more like a Robin/Nightwing character here than he did in the previous issue that provides the mystery as to what is going to happen next. 
Theres a real human side to Kid Vigilante shown in this issue and his acknowledgement of what happened with Apollo last issue turns into a much deeper incident than we first thought given the few lines of choice dialogue and how its placed. There's also a real sense we're living in an almost post apocalyptic situation, except the disaster is one that's devastated the people left behind rather than society as whole... for now at least. There's a real sense of history here with very little indeed and in a sort of Watchmen way plays into what we know of superheroes and uses it very well for it's own needs, without playing it for laughs or the highlighting more absurd qualities of the genre. Once again the art here is great and Danger Club already feels established with its mix of styles both in its dramatic and outlandishly big action sequences as they rub of against each other effortlessly. This issue wasnt quite as impactful as the first but it offers a more emotional flavour to the story and once again I feel like Ive known these characters longer than just two issues. I want to see what happens next and where this WTF moment comes into the grand scheme of things. This new title is still an impressive one and hopefully next month will tighten the focus on what lies in store for its future.
