The Rundown: Edward and Angie find themselves in the midst of a dangerous game where the stakes continue to be raised.
After finding the bodies of their co-workers, Angie is freaked out while Edward investigates the bodies and discovers something strange. After getting a clue to another puzzle, the two team up to solve it before they find themselves on the ground floor and on their way to another location.
As the pair get to know each other better, they suit up to attend a high end party where they are given a new game to solve. One that will require them to perform a stealth mission to steal something valuable. After getting what they require, they are taken to another puzzle where the stakes are raised and the danger increased.
The Story: Kaplan continues to craft and deliver an interesting, thrilling and thoroughly entertaining story in this follow up issue. I found myself fully invested in the characters and conflicts in this story. I like seeing Edward and Angie as a team and getting to know them better. There are some interesting challenges throughout the issue and I love the progression of the action and where it leaves the characters at the end.
The Art: Thompson creates some stunning art throughout the issue. I love the visual style a lot and how beautifully detailed many of the pages and panels are.
