The Hood #2

The second chapter of "Blood from Stones" arrives under the Marvel MAX banner, with Kyle Hotz's cover setting a grim, noir-drenched tone — a bloodied figure lies sprawled in the foreground while two enigmatic characters, one masked and one in a suit, stand coolly against a rain-slicked urban skyline. Brian K. Vaughan's mature-readers crime saga continues to feel genuinely dangerous here, the kind of street-level story that earns its explicit-content label. If the opening issue drew you in, this one promises to keep the tension coiled tight.
