Velvet, Vol. 2: The Secret Lives of Dead Men

This is good but not as good as when Phillips is with Brubaker. I don't mean the art either as that's actually better here. But it doesn't have the same realism as when those two work together. I still recommend this, but keep in mind this is the obvious hook to give you two volumes in comixology so you will pay to find out what happens next. If I wasn't so familiar with the other content it would have worked. But if you are going to pay, go for the works of the dream team of Brubaker/Phillips. There is plenty of money to spend in that world before shelling it out for this story.

If possible, I would give Velvet 6 stars! This series keeps getting better and better. Brubaker's writing is amazing and Epting's art and Breitweisner's colors are awesome. Love the action, the framing of the panels and the moody choice of colors. With minimal dialoge, I find myself spending a lot of time enjoying the art and layout. Long live Velvet!

One of the best comics. Had me hooked from the first Vol. and had to immediately read this one. Took a chance buying all three Vol's at the same time.

Once again the creative team guide you into an intense spy intrincated conspiracy and trippy action package that only Brubaker-Epting-Breitweiser can amazingly do. Don`t waste more time and read it!!! Can`t wait to see the next volume!

I loved this story. As I stated in my review of Volume 1, I read all three volumes in less than an hour.

Awesome series can't wait for vol.#3. love them since their run on Marvel's winter soldier. The story and art is beautiful and keeps you wanting more!!

Great read.

A VERY Good series

Un gran comic de espionaje, el segundo volúmen sigue manteniendo el nivel y te deja esperando ansiosamente el volumen 3, gran trabajo de Brubaker y excelente el apartado gráfico con Epting

The story and artwork are amazing and draws you right into the spy world.The story does in graphic novel form what Le Carre has done for decades in novel form.A must read.Need to go buy the comic to see what happens next!

Just gets better & better, it really is an edge of your seat, clever & stylish thrill ride, in this excellent series …

This is classic Brubaker. The story is engaging, the art from his longtime partner Epting is sublime. The concept is clever and Velvet is a really strong central character.Well done both

A fantastic blend of Modesty Blaise and James Bond. The retro setting is also great. It took me a week to get through volume one; this one I wasn't even able to ration for that long. Only down side - a long wait for volume 3.
