Reviewing comic book series on an issue-by-issue basis isn't always ideal. You're only getting a small chunk of a larger story, and sometimes it's tough to judge that story without examining the entire package. That's very much the case with Heroes in Crisis. This is a well-executed, emotionally charged story, but one that raises some significant concerns about the way in which specific characters are being handled. The ending is clearly going to make or break this story.
Issue #2 explores the ongoing fallout of the tragic mass-killing at Sanctuary. For one thing, writer Tom King and artist Clay Mann reveal that the death toll is even greater than what was indicated last month, resulting in a reveal that will no doubt rankle many readers. That's where many of the concerns surrounding the direction of the series crop up. The abrupt, casual way Heroes in Crisis kills off fan-favorite characters is upsetting. That seems to be the intent. King and Mann frame the cycle of violence in this book as being as senseless, random and unsparing as mass-killings in the real world.
