BOOKLIST (STARRED) -- Thefirst volume of C.O.W.L.(2014), about a unionized group of superheroes in 1960s Chicago, wasarguably one of the best graphic novels of the year for its unique concept andabstract art, and this sequel handily lives up to its predecessor. With thedeath of a key member of the C.O.W.L. team and the return of supervillains tothe streets of Chicago, C.O.W.L. director Warner manipulates city hall into amore favorable union contract, with the rest of the team hanging in the balanceand paying the price for his actions. Higgins and Siegel refuse to spin theirwheels and instead drive the arc forward with full force, pushing already testedcharacters to even further limits. At its best, C.O.W.L. reinforces itsnarrative that, even in a world of supervillains, the true villains exist inshades of gray, not necessarily purely evil but driven by greed orself-promotion. Reis' artwork does not disappoint, perhaps becoming moreappealingly unconventional as he experiments with dynamic color schemes andshading, shifting seamlessly among styles that perfectly suit the scene andelevate the breakneck storytelling. Although it's best to start from thebeginning, new readers certainly won't mind, since this series is one of thesmartest, sharpest, and most visually stunning currently outthere.
