First Wave #2
"First Wave Book Two" delivers a pulse-pounding escalation in Brian Azzarello’s layered conspiracy saga, with Rags Morales’ striking interior art and Nei Ruffino’s vivid colors grounding the chaos. As The Spirit and Ebony steal a coffin from the Blackhawks, the hunt intensifies across fractured fronts—from Hildago’s betrayal to Neolantis’s floating city, where Colossi clashes with Mom amid dark revelations. J. G. Jones’ cover captures the tension perfectly, while the story unfolds with relentless momentum, weaving espionage, identity, and shadowy power plays.
