Kaneki has an explosive run-in with Aogiri Tree, essentially a Ghoul Gang, run by a Ghoul known only as the One-Eyed King. Things heat up in the 11th Ward as the CCG investigates the high rate of Investigator deaths. When reinforcements are called in on both sides, the stakes are suddenly higher than ever. Kaneki, Nishio and Touka struggle to work together to rescue their human friend Kimi while Ghoul Investigator deaths skyrocket in Wards 9 through 12. And Kaneki learns more about what happened to Rize and what it means to be a One-Eyed Ghoul. Kaneki meets Shu Tsukiyama, known as The Gourmet for his interesting and sadistic tastes. No easy task now that Kaneki's got to bring humans and Ghouls to a rapid truce at the same time. Kaneki and Touka are going to have to get them off her tail and fast. Kaneki is still trying to get used to his new life when Commission of Counter Ghoul agents Mado and Amon start sniffing around for Hinami. Unable to discard his humanity but equally unable to suppress his Ghoul hunger, Ken finds salvation in the kindness of friendly Ghouls who teach him how to pass as human and eat flesh humanely. When a morally questionable rescue transforms him into the first half-human half-Ghoul hybrid, Ken is drawn into the dark and violent world of Ghouls, which exists alongside our own. But it turns out that she's only interested in his body-eating it, that is. Shy Ken Kaneki is thrilled to go on a date with the beautiful Rize.

Jonathan and Martha Kent having rescued him from his space capsule, reared him as their own adopted son, taught him to hide his super human powers, and shaped him into the caring person that he is. Clark Kent is still the Smallville kid we’ve all grown up with. Straczynski doesn’t really try to reinvent the wheel here.

Also, I thought the Howling Commandos were hunting Frank down – I presume they’re only hunting down one non-powered vigilante killer and are ok with Natasha? I thought Natasha and Frank were amigos though – wouldn’t she share Frank’s beef with them? If you read Edmondson’s The Punisher, Volume 2: Border Crossing, then you’ve already read the two-part crossover between Natasha and Frank. As if to make up for the lack of interest in the missions themselves, Natasha’s teamed up with a variety of characters: the Punisher, X-23, Winter Soldier, and she encounters Hawkeye, Daredevil and the Howling Commandos. The missions themselves are largely unvaried: Natasha finds a target to protect or kill, faceless guards with guns shoot at her, she escapes – repeat. When she’s not avenging, Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow is still doing missions on the side for money to pay off her conscience for the bad things she did way back when - but this second volume shows Nathan Edmondson’s already run this idea into the ground. |
