“The Rocketeer #2” continues the trajectory set in its predecessor, delivering a solid continuation while still echoing some of the same concerns from the previous issue. The narrative is definitely gaining momentum, as our intrepid hero delves deeper into the mystery surrounding his mentor’s disappearance. The issue bears the classic hallmarks of a ‘middle issue’ — serving primarily to propel the story forward without delivering any significant peaks or revelations.
While the narrative’s progression is commendable and keeps the readers engaged, the issue falls into that all-too-familiar territory: it’s neither outstanding nor lackluster. A safe bridge that sets up the stage, one hopes, for more thrilling subsequent developments.
In conclusion, “The Rocketeer #2” is a decent read, staying true to the overarching plot while not venturing too far into the extraordinary. For fans dedicated to the series, it’ll be a necessary stepping stone, but one can only hope for some more high-flying action and surprises in the forthcoming issues.
