There are those family members that people just don’t like.  They find themselves either hated or not talked about at all. Whatever slight occurred lives on for years. The ones whom are not talked about at all simply do not exist.

Sometimes fractures in families just don’t mend. It becomes a sticking point that endures . The crazy thing is sometimes those rifts are deeper than political rivals. It eventually makes strangers of the people that you share common blood with. In the 2nd issue of Creed: The Next Round, we find Adonis’s daughter and Apollo’s granddaughter, Amara as she finds that one relative.

We’re taken back to Artemis house, where Amara is trying to convince her distant aunt to train her. Artemis’ reputation has preceded her and Amara wants to learn from someone just like her. As Artemis recounts her journey. We learn about her career as a boxer and how good she was and what lead her to leave the sport altogether. Meanwhile, Adonis meets a new technology company, one that may change all their lives. He also finds out that Amara went to meet with Artemis, which leads to a heated standoff between the two half siblings. By the issue’s end, Artemis starts training Amara in secret and a mysterious competitor steals the company Adonis was trying to buy from him.

Overall, Creed: The Next Round #2 is a story that fans will love as it dives deeper into this world. The story by Latoya Morgan and Jai Jamison is electrifying. The art by the creative team is beautiful. Altogether, a story that more than satisifies fans of boxing movies
