Writer: Brian Buccellato
We pick up issue #2 seconds after the Russian Hitman slips on a water patch and blows his brains out. Panicked Mitch cleans up the mess and put the body in a towel bin and hides it in his chicken truck. Back home he finally relaxes and falls asleep in the van dreaming of his awful mother who hates anything to do with kids.
It’s a chaotic, slapstick issue with Buccellato creating a hapless but lovable character in Mitchell. Chaos seems to follow him, engulfing all around while somehow protecting him from most of its effects.
Artist: Hayden Sherman
Sherman and Otsmane-Elhaou continue to show the perfect blend between great artwork and great lettering. The fight scene towards the end of the issue where Mitch and Antonio is everything you need in a comic, blending various panels and lettering styles to show action without confusing readers. My eyes are still watering from the groin grab centre panel.
Overall Thoughts
Buccellato has found the perfect secret spice blend to make a hilarious series, a pinch of anarchy, amazing lettering, slapstick violence, perfect artwork and colouring, pathos and a dash of secret sauce, showing that too many cooks don’t spoil this zinger of a plot.
