Torrent, a young woman who can turn herself into water and travel via people’s bladders! Hotshot, sex bomb and pyro-boy! Virus, a little girl who spreads disease like a plague louse! Superheroes with very little that’s super about them, they have been brought together by a mysterious billionaire who seems keen to protect them from an equally mysterious but far more lethal organization with big guns and cool suits.

The Troop #2 continues the enthralling, action filled story from the first issue with barely a break in the pace. Still managing to contain that adult humor, this issues brings in a few more characters, who have powers. Introducing two of the three new characters with sad, unique, but basic, (hopefully building,) backstories. A third character is revealed but, lacks any backstory except they reveal one very critical thing. She isn’t friendly.  While the title is still new, writer Noel Clarke seems to be creating a large world, and more is waiting to be revealed.

While I can’t show you the end panel, that is one of the most interesting panels in the story. By all means J. Cassara makes good use of their talent to amplify the mystery of the chamber. The artwork throughout is superb, with an excellent degree of realism. Every well drawn scene is detailed, and rarely lacks action.

This pairing is definitely two creators to keep an eye on in the future, and see what they write/illustrate. Looking forward to the next issue, eagerly.
