After an over-the-top first issue with awesome artwork and awesome storyline that left us all wanting more (it truly is Whilce's best work ever before or after!), here comes issue 2 and like WildCATS and others, it has a special extra cover to boot!
We continue the tale of Dane and his team of covert black ops operatives as they continue their journey of self-discovery from that of mercenary like warriors to people clad in golden symbiote armour. Here they start to learn more about the capabilities of their suits while becoming more akin to super heroes ... and simultaneously they learnt that humanity has been sharing this planet with many races that live more on the dark side of our world than walk in the bright of the sun
In addition, we also see that the symbiotes can affect some of the soldiers differently and not just everyone has a shiny body armour ... we see the chap breaking out in blue bright white light ... and another swelling up!
In the meantime, the team gets reassigned to a new mission and that is to supposedly defend a band ... unknowing to them the bandleader is a vampire himself ...
And in the vampire kingdom, while the current ruler is trying to make a balance between old treaties and the current challenges it faces ... like any good kingdom style tale, there are greedy members of the family who covet the crown itself and thus scheming is underfoot
Another title from Image that has less to do with spandex and more to do with a good tale
