Leave on the Light #2
It's interesting how big a change can happen from one issue to the next. Though the debut issue was good, issue 2 is definitely an improvement. Even though issue 1 introduced us to Lassey, the series' killer, here we get to see him before he was executed, which is very welcome. We get an idea of how, despite this, he seems to be able to continue killing and get to Detective Marshall at his most vulnerable.
Though we knew he had a reason to hate Lassey, it was great to have it shown. Yak does a great job delivering some really creepy, memorable images. When Lassey's heading to execution, Yak zooms in, highlighting a chilling elation to his face. The artist brings us some truly horrific images, most of all during and shortly after Lassey's execution.
The issue's got a greater amount of hair-raising moments, like when Marshall's visiting the prison Lassey was executed in, or when his partner's investigating an eerie disturbance... Golden and Aguilar have definitely improved when it comes to the horror and in a comic like this, that's certainly a plus.
Yak's art fits the book a lot better than Sarabia's, particularly in the execution scenes mentioned above. With this increase in quality, I hope it's a sign of things to come for future issues.
