Invasive #2 ups the unease with solid horror

Posted on by
Invasive #2

Dr. Carrie Reynolds and detective Vic Hudgens cut closer to the heart of the mystery behind the “murder surgeons” and the gruesome surgical attacks plaguing their city. While meeting the newest victim, they come face to face with the deranged society of killers stalking their trail . . . and learn just how far Carrie will go to the find the people who hurt her daughter. Invasive #2 keeps up the unease as the duo attempt to find out who’s behind the destruction.

Written by Cullen Bunn, Invasive #2 does a solid job of keeping things focused on the detective aspect of the story. At its heart, the series is two people trying to get to the heart of a mystery. But, the series just happens to deal with unnecessary surgery, creating visuals that create unease. The second issue is no exception to that delivering shocks in the story and with the imagery.

The comic is solid as the duo follow clues and get closer to those behind the horror. But, we learn more about the two as well, a lot more, and some of it is rather surprising. It shows how for they’re willing to go to find the truth. The story creates an unease in numerous ways and the title implies not just the surgery the people within are having but how far our two “heroes” are willing to go to solve the crime.

Much of the unease is helped by the art from Jesús Hervás. Dan Jackson provides color and lettering by Taylor Esposito and all together the comic borders on the edge of having to look away. The visuals are uncomfortable. For someone like me who has trouble with these sorts of visuals, it’s not the easiest of reads but the visuals impressively balance that line that might take it over the top and distracting.

Invasive #2 is another solid issue that continues the shocks in numerous ways. It’s a solid horror comic that continues to show why Bunn is so well regarded in the genre.
