U.S. (Uncle Sam) #2


   Uncle Sam #2


   Last issue, Sam was covered in the blood of those who fought for America’s freedom. All of a sudden in this issue, it appears all of that is forgotten. I feel like the cliff hanger was a huge let down.

   The second chapter was also confusing as he is visited by the living embodiments of pass republics that are no longer at their peak. It’s not that I don’t know who is who. It’s just every one of the characters speaks in riddles.

   The conclusion is which Uncle Sam battles his successor, however, is epic. The imposter Sam is made up of the media and each screen on his television cloak looks like an actual still from the shows in which they were inspired. Yet, it’s all paintings here.

   Alex Ross is a master and it’s his masterful touch that keeps this second chapter from bringing the whole work down into the ranks of not being worth consuming.

   I loved the first chapter and I enjoyed chapter two. I give the entire work as a whole a rating of 8/10 stars.

   Worth Consuming.

   Issue 2 rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
