Second Sight is a trip. Definitely a very interesting title, and this first issue is engaging and captivating.
The first line of Dialog in the book is: “DO YOU SEE?” on a black background. That can have many meanings, intentional or not.
On the second page, a splash page of a leather clad serial killer, the only line of Dialog is: “I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LIKE TO WATCH.”
This is meant for the main character, Ray Pilgrim, but could just as easily mean us readers.
Ray is a very troubled man who once discovered he had the power to “Remote View” people commit heinous crimes. He has apparently left that life behind, or tried. Now his daughter runs a blog and is threatening to release names of The Wednesday Club, a group of powerful pedophiles.
It also seems that Ray is Remote Viewing again.
Anyone who is a fan of crime comics (or stories in general) needs to give Second Sight a first look. This is a very good issue with strong art and script. It does what it needs to do to set up all the action and events and start things moving forward.
It gives us enough background on Ray to be interested in who he is. It also keeps one guessing to what is going on, with a wicked cliffhanger ending.
