Still reeling from the fallout of the bloody gang war that gripped the city, Detective Dick Tracy has little time to recover as he confronts a series of grisly murders. With bodies piling up, a newly deputized Pat must grapple with his new path, and Tess makes a startling discovery--all kicking off the must-read second arc of one of the most acclaimed new series of the year!
Dick Tracy volume 2 by Alex Segura, Michael Moreci, and Geraldo Borges, was published on July 1, 2025, by Mad Cave Studios.
I enjoyed volume 1 of this series when it came out. Time to dive in for more, this time covering issues 6 through 10 of the series plus the 2025 Valentine's Day Special.
This one was very engaging as Tracy hunts down the Blank, a person who has taken it upon themself to judge criminals with a brutal form of justice- death by repeated stabbings. I had my suspicions on who was behind that white mask (and, as a writer, I was pleased to know my hunch was right on the money). The story has all those classic crime noir elements we come to expect from this series. The writing is solid and the art is fantastic. The team is really delivering on bringing this classic comic franchise to a whole new audience.
The two Valentine's tales were fun. The one on the film set reminded me of golden age Batman (very fitting of the noir elements). The second one had some nice newsprint-like artwork that harkened back to the comic strips I remember reading as a kid in the 70's.
