Spoilers

DC Comics and The Next Batman: Second Son #8 Spoilers and Review follows.

Why Was Tim Fox Aka Jace A…

…Lethal Scumbag?!

We open with much built up deposition of Tim Fox aka Jace for a legal matter involving his father Lucius Fox.

Jace knows he needs to tell truth and will seemingly not adhering to the plan his lawyer, namely his mom Tanya, had for him.

We learn that Lucius was a zero at home, but a hero at work plus learn how the Fox children interacted as youth.

We then get several pages of Tim Fox being a stereotypical teen thug, including treating women badly, ignoring his mom, cutting class, etc.

This culminates in a car accident caused by distracted driving.

Tim panics…

…seemingly leaves the scene of the accident to…

…confront his dad and…

…asking for help about what to do.

The Pulse:

Solid art and ok story. Not sure how Jace’s childhood antics are relevant to this legal proceeding, involving his dad, that he deposed for, but it is shedding light on Jace and the Fox family. 7 out of 10.
