Review
The trail of revenge continues with this issue as our hero Michael and his pair of blazing guns continue to seek out targets for his rage. As with issue one, the story is somewhat simple. It s a revenge tale where someone is wronged and the only solution seems to be a trip down a path of violence. It s the art that once again impressed me the most here. Philipp Nuendorf knows how to convey mood with his loose detailings and highly textured and layered renderings. There s something gritty and real that makes this tale much more than simple revenge fiction. --Ambush Bug (Aint it Cool News)

Behind the curtain time; sometimes it s hard to review things that come across my proverbial desk. Some books you read, and it s easy to say This is good or This is bad. Not so much with this one. There s some serious subject matter going on here and a very unique art style, which brings up some good points and some bad points. I ll get to that in a minute. --Henchman21 (Geeks of Doom)<br /><br />When I reviewed Scorn #1, I was taken primarily by the book s conceptually low-key angle on an otherwise overblown genre (that of the street-side vigilante). It held a nondescript, uncomplicated execution, though was enhanced by unexpectedly fantastical art by the stellar Philipp Neundorf, his style the broken-hearted result of a doomed romance between the dadaism of Dave McKean and the horror-laced expressionism of Bill Sienkiewicz. What hooked me was a desire to see where Scorn eventually led to, after its beginnings, how the remaining three issues of the mini would play out, as the story, while a classic, left little in the way of obvious genre earmarks. There was a man out for revenge, and a cast of miserable, disenfranchised characters surrounding him, but how would its odd sensibilities translate in overall plot? --David Baxter (Broken Frontier.com)
