Some thoughts about Dial H for Hero #2

What is the Thunderbolt Club?

Miguel is trying to get away from the powers he just found but the people inside of the H-Dial need him to defeat their enemies.

Another chapter and I'm surprised about how much I'm enjoying this.

Sam Humphries offers a new installment and, considering how much I detested his other works, it's incredible how well this is working. It might be because Humphries is working on brand new characters and thus, there's no bad characterization or that there's less focus on overly-cringey humour but the portrayals and dialogue between the protagonists is pretty solid. Miguel is a solid main character because he acts in a pretty rational way considering the events he has to endure (no having a family and dealing with his new abilities) while Summer brings a good dynamic with him based on how different their personalities are.

And that's without mentioning the Dial H superheroes. Once again, Humphries offers new metahumans that completely change the style of the ongoing story like the arrival of a Dragon Ball-esque superhero and mecha-like one. The Thunderbolt Club brings an interesting threat since they also have their story with the H-Dial and can use their power for their own goals.

Jone Quinones handles the art and is really good with a vibrant semi-cartoony style that depicts the characters expressions and story perfectly.

Fun read. God, don't ruin this Humphries.
