Dead Run #2
Nick Masters has problems. Never mind the fact that he lives in a post apocalyptic United States, he's learned to make due by being the best courier around, but when a delivery to a crime lord named Kane got botched that's when things get interesting, he now has 24 hours to save his sister before Kane gets satisfaction one way or another.
When Nick's best route of travel gets turned into a new Grand Canyon he and his reluctant passenger Becki try to hide from a horde of mutant attackers but are quickly discovered. Nick defends them before an even lager gang descends and it's through teamwork that they narrowly escape. As they enter the Zone, they make use of Nick's armor plated car to crash through a barrier setting off a landmine and even more problems for Masters.
Dead Run reads like a comic book version of Mad Max, Cherry 2000 and Total Recall with it's grizzled survivor, companions being as different as night and day and various mutant population but all these elements mesh well together to create a story that entertains the guts and gore crowd as well as action fans. Personally, my favorite part was one of the quieter moments with a small argument over someone and it's that human interaction I enjoyed most. Andrew Crosby and Michael Alan Nelson's writing style compliment each other and Francesco Biagini's art is a good fit as well.
8/10
