“PEDAL TO THE METAL,” Part Two
The deadliest hunters in the world become the hunted as the Ferrymen take matters into their own hands, and Blacktop Bill sees the light as these two treacherous journeys lead on.
The book opens with someone fleeing the shades and seeking refuge…
…only for it to be a ruse by serial killer Blacktop Bill!
Elsewhere Val Riggs and her Sundog Convoy track down Blacktop Bill, but…
…he’s hunted by a three more soldiers, who were created like him, after he killed the first three “William” sent after him last issue (full spoilers here).
Blacktop Bill dons a helmet…
…that allows him to learn the real motivations behind the monster shade king Nox.
Now they get added to the hunters of Blacktop Bill because he knows too much!
A battle ensues punctuated by a blast of powerful sun replicating light, but it’s not William who entered the fray…
…it’s Val and the Sundog Convoy!
Turns out, Blacktop Bill is so jarred by what he saw in Nox’s mind, a revelation that he’s the black hole in the universe ready to suck everything and everyone up, that…
…Blacktop Bill seems to believe that they all have no choice.
Enemies must unite and killer Blacktop Bill is ready to join forces with Val and she grudgingly agrees as the rest of the Sundog Convoy is stunned!
The Pulse:
Another compelling, action-packed and intriguing issue that is chock full of zigs and zags. This is a story that you can’t predict or get ahead of. Amazing art to boot. I wish the next issue was here now. 8.5 out of 10.
