Power Lines, Issue #2 is a title I've had in my "to-read" pile for some time. Issue #3 came out three weeks ago, and I decided not to buy it until I'd read Issue #2. In Issue #2, D-Trick goes back to Benicia to find the woman who has powers like his. He has to use his powers when a bus crashes, trapping the passengers inside. After rescuing several people, he's arrested and beaten by the police.
I'm beginning to really like this rough, racially-charged comic. The scenery is legit, as well, taking place in Benicia and the "Iron Triangle" of central Richmond. The Native American characters aren't present in this issue, but the idea of people having super powers in only a certain neighborhood is a novel one, one that is very well realized. As before, Jimmie Robinson wears all the hats in this comic, writing, illustrating, coloring and even lettering the comic.
