Re: Livewire #2 Discussion
It seemed like a quick read but an okay issue. Art is great but a little devoid of background detail in a lot of panels.
From a realistic perspective you'd think they'd have her in handcuffs and leg irons in captivity even with the special holding cell. And I guess the 'techno-kinetic' thing is here to stay.
But I thought the narrative kept true to form with her still believing she did the right thing. Still waiting for her moment of introspection and self-admission of the wrongs she caused. I have a feeling she'll see more of what she's wrought and have to cope with it.

Ok read. Not bad but not mind-blowing either.

Re: Livewire #2 Discussion
Same as the fellas above, ok read, better than issue #1.
Not sure mediocre is acceptable though with such few books
3/5

Re: Livewire #2 Discussion
Given this series is only solicited for 2 arcs (8 or 9 issues), I was hoping we'd get more bang for our buck. I'm still along for the ride (at least for the first arc). Fingers crossed #3 sees the action/story ramp up.

Re: Livewire #2 Discussion
Just wanted to underscore something I saw in the book and agreed with the podcast: Livewire being knocked into traffic accidentally seems... I dunno... like a weird thing to throw in there unless there's more to it. We shall see.
