I own this book. I think I enjoyed volume 2 of Deadly Class more than I enjoyed volume 1 if I'm honest. Marcus is setting into school life okay. He has his friends that he made in the last volume, a girlfriend (despite her massive depressive episodes) who he likes, he goes to parties, has a part time job and so on. But you can only run from things for so long, and while his life seems to be going okay at the start, it quickly falls apart. Marcus's past is catching up to him, and the source of

“Depression is a big fucked-up monster. Everyone gets a turn, whether or not they want to own up to it. It’s a hard fight that fucks you top to bottom. Drains you hollow. And when you’re finally rid of it, there’s something about having overcome it that robs you of compassion.” I have recently been on a major graphic novel binge. I keep putting down whatever novel I’m currently reading so I can pick up yet another graphic novel. I had recently read Deadly Class, Vol.1: Reagan Youth and I fell

Omg, this was sooo good!! It was even better then the Vol. 1, and as it seems to me, it will become more intense with every new issue.It will be too hard for me to wait for a Vol. 3 so I'll be buying every new issue as it comes out. It's just THAT good!There's just one thing I have to phrase:This one particular scene (view spoiler)[comic store scene (hide spoiler)] made me laugh so hard, like I have never laughed in my life (at least not while reading). That scene only would make me rate this Vo...

Review - https://youtu.be/hY8fneImxj8

So, I wrote in my review for Vol. 1 how it struck me that Deadly Class is actually a teenage drama, but where teenagers are going to school for assassins. Basically, same problems, but with bloodier consequences. :DI stand by that opinion 100% after reading Vol.2. With group of adolescent characters and their flair for dramatics, Remender is following formula to a T giving us the biggest teenage drama of them all- Love Triangle. So, Vol. 2 finds Marcus in hard situation: he's dating Maria (but

I'm reading slowly because I'm trying to pace myself!! I don't want to catch up just yet

After reading vol .1 I thought this series has got real potential and I still do, but I'm so bored of reading inner dialogue and watching the story go nowhere. I'm still not sure if this has potential or if it's just a great idea for a comic with good artwork!?

“... the difference between old friends and new friends is that new friends just haven't let you down yet.She told me that everyone has let her down...... except for me.And all I could think was, "give me time.” I flew through this one much faster than the first one.It is still as good as the first one.But I feel like this one was more emotional, and it focus a lot of Marcus’s and Maria’s history which is so interesting.Especially Maria’s. I am very interested in her history and what she went th...

Wow. Violent, fucked up, dark, and depressing. That's the 80s I mean...the book just so happens to echo the decade.The assassin kids' road trip had consequences, and it's not until the end of this excellent second volume that we see just how the pasts of Maria and Marcus intersect in their present.Teenage angst with mad kill skillz.Racism and sexual assault, sweatshops, religious imagery used by psychopaths, oh and a comic book sale where someone gets explosive diarrhea! Word.Rick Remender is on...

Bullet Review:On one hand, I feel this was legitimately stronger than volume 1. On the other - it's still not what I like to read about:+ Whiny, pretentious a-hole of a protagonist+ A school of talented assassins but you rarely see them in school or being talented assassins (they eff up enough that I wonder if maybe they've deluded themselves into believing they are awesome)+ The Love Triangle+ Girl Hate (Over a Boy, no less!)I just don't like this sorta stuff. I can't really make myself care ab...

Whoooooooa this shit was intense. The love tringle was okay, my only negative really. So now that's out of the way...KILL ALL REDNECK INBREEDS!!!! YES! This was like a dream come true. One thing I hate as much as asshole new yorkers (I grew up in Brooklyn) are backwards fucking rednecks. Watching our heroes (are they though?) kill a bunch of dirty fucking backwards ass people was a blast. The fights are intense, wonderfully drawn, and scary as fuck cause you never know who's going to die. Oh and...

Really enjoying this series. Very intense and full of tough subjects but dealt with in a witty and clever way. Enjoying the flashbacks in storyline and development.

[4.5 Stars]Damn that whole thing was MESSED UP!

Veerry minor spoilers ahead but sometimes if you don't say it, some baby will throw their toys out of the pram... Marcus and his friends are back at Kings Dominion after their bonkers Vegas road trip but a villain from his past has reappeared with only vengeance in mind. As Saya tracks down the whereabouts of Fuckface, Marcus and Maria’s relationship hits the rocks - who knew training to be an assassin could be so melodramatic? Rick Remender and Wes Craig’s Deadly Class continues to be a lot of

I struggled to get through the beginning, but holy moly the second part of this volume was amazing!

I LOVE ONE GIRL AND HER NAME IS SAYA KUROKI

More like 3.5 stars, as I do really like the energy and pace of this story. I like the coloring, the art is almost awesome but there is a certain stylization to the human figure drawing that just sticks in my craw. I don't mean to be insulting by saying that, everything looks good (backgrounds, compositions, excellent!) and the art is good but the proportions on the characters is stylized a certain way, hands, feet, arms sometimes drawn real small, and face drawn big, with facial features exagge...

Trigger Warning: Graphic and Extreme Violence DAFUQ THIS IS FCKING INSANE AND ADDICTIVE?!? If you think the first volume is gold this one is so much more solid! (Wow wtf is that analogy vine?) I'm sorry for the lack of appropriate analogies. Anyway, this second volume has all the grit and teeth. It's messy and brutal. The violence is sharply directed on revenge and it's highly unapologetic with how sick and psychologically damaged the characters are. I've grown to know more about the side cha
