"Public Enemy #2: A Hilarious Mix of Sass and Social Commentary"  

If "Public Enemy #2" were a person, I'd say it has the kind of personality that would borrow your last slice of pizza and then lecture you on the dangers of carbs. Aaron McGruder has done it again, crafting a comic like a sweet and spicy gumbo—equal parts laughter, eye-rolls, and those moments where you think, “Did he just say that?” "Public Enemy #2" is a compelling read that balances humor with a serious critique of contemporary social issues. McGruder's ability to weave together the experiences of Huey, Riley, Grandad, and Caesar makes this comic entertaining and thought-provoking. Readers will laugh and reflect long after turning the last page.
