The sequel to the extremely well done and successful three issue mini series, Existence 2.0, debuts with an awful lot of question marks. After all, the first series concluding with its most interesting character, Sylvester, getting trapped in a female assassin's body with his eight year old daughter's mind occupying the same body onto of his brain. This essentially means the little girl controls the assassin's body with her father's mind trapped somewhere inside the same body. Can the series survive without its primary character? Another question coming in to the story is what could possibly be done to come close to the cliffhanger, surprise filled, original series? Well, this issue has some answers to these questions as it starts off the follow up mini series with shift in gears to make this series completely different from the first one.

Every once in a while I receive something to review and I’ve never heard of it. Many times these comics are the best reads. Perhaps it is because I have no expectations. Or perhaps some of the best material is just done outside of the big two publishers and doesn’t have the advertising and loud backing. Whatever the case may be this comic book is outstanding. It’s a crime drama with a twist of science fiction done in some of the traditional pulp manner that the likes of Criminal has carried on with today. It has some gore, some emotion, some humor and a nice gimmick to keep you on your feet. This is a comic worth seeking out.
