Deadly Class Deluxe Edition Volume 2: The Funeral Party by Rick Remender

4.0

Bless the art and coloring in this series. This team continues to throw some of the most clever panel and text layouts, color schemes, and style choices out there, and it keeps each issue as eye-catching as the next.

Honestly, I needed a break after the end of the finals arc because it was heartbreaking how things developed, but it added some very interesting developments for the surviving characters that shifted the story drastically for the better. A shift like this can be risky, but Remender pulls it off by introducing new characters with just as unique designs and fresh personalities and motivations.

And I really appreciate when a writer doesn't simply kill a character for shock value and forget them. There's some great tidbits as the story continues that shows what happened to these characters has impacted the surviving ones. I hope this is explored further as we learn more about the newbies.
