Review: Coronary #2
It is no mistake that the supplement industry has been under the radar for as many years as it has been. The many times players have been caught using just to stay ahead has changed how people compete in sports all over the world. In these last Winter Olympics, an athlete who parodied the fact that she may have took steroids, was found to have taken those performance enhancing drugs. The obsession to stay ahead of the competition extends to the rest of the world, especially social media.
As the world has become vainer, people all over the world obsess over their looks, more than their health. This disdain for acceptability, has caused a crisis in self esteem not only in children but in most people around the world. As the pursuit for perfection is what drive most people to gyms, salons, plastic surgery and whatever gets them to the next level. In the second chapter of Coronary, we dive more into what drives Justin, and are introduced to some new characters.
We catch up with Justin shortly after being apprehended as his company has been linked with producing drugs that’s has flooded the streets nationwide. We also meet Luna, a teenager undergoing therapy, as her distance from her peers has caused her father to worry that it is more than he what she says it is. Lady Kay, another player in this series is introduced, one who has rather treacherous intentions and looks to tip the scales in her favor. By issue’s end, someone has broken Justin out of the police precinct, for what reason, we will find out in the next chapter.
Overall, an excellent installment in an already astonishing series that looks to not only entertain but also make the reader ruminate. The story by Ryan Burke is ingenious, relevant, and enjoyable. The art by Joel Saavedra and Damian Penalba is luminous and alluring. Altogether a story that proves that comic books elevates literature.
