Publisher’s Blurb:
Last issue’s THREE cliffhangers are answered here, leading to even more questions surrounding the attack on Elle Peterssen. A new person is introduced, but are they friend or foe? And Elle quickly finds that the situation she is in has rapidly gone from a 10 to 10,000!
The anxiously awaited ongoing mystery deepens as the web of suspects and lies spreads.

Reviewer’s Comments:
Issue 2 was a little less mind blowing than 1 was, but that’s on account of me having some kind of idea of what to expect as far as McCann’s insane writing style. I will say that after issue 1, I thought I had a few things figured out, but this installment made me doubt myself to such a a high degree that I’m intimidated to even make another guess!

While the mystery is the main appeal, and honestly, the best executed I have ever seen in a comic, it is not all that Mind the Gap has to offer. There is great character development even just from issue 1 to 2. There is also a semi-paranormal aspect to the book, but not in the way you may think. The approach is very cerebral.

If I had to sum up Mind the Gap in one word, it would be original. There is not a single comic on the market even remotely like this one.

Bottom line(cause Stonecold said so): 2 issues in and this is already easily the comic I am recommending the most. I think that there’s a little bit of everything to please all comic fans. I won’t say where it ranks , but it’s a top 5 favorite for me as far as current books go. And only 2 books in! Unless the ball gets drastically dropped, we’re looking at a masterpiece in the making. Not to mention a fine example as to the potential of the medium in moving towards the future.

About the Writer: TommyHancock (34 Posts) Though the list of things that Tommy Hancock loves is quite immense, very few things have ever come close to his love for comics (Not including living things, of course. He's a jittery ol' hermit, not a monster). Fancying himself a writer, Tommy has aspirations in every form of media(Novels, short stories, TV, film, web series, comics(#1), etc.) and can usually be found locked in his room tapping away at his laptop, which is quite literally falling apart from the constant poundings. Lacking any artistic ability himself, aside from being able to string words together, Tommy is always on the lookout for a talented Lad or lass to collaborate with, so if you're in the market for a writer feel free to drop him a line. He only bites when provoked. Tommy Hancock lives in the California High Desert with his dog, Quincy. He resides in a house that is heavily fortified to withstand even the most extreme of zombie onslaughts.
