Volume 2 of 'Deadly Class' ramps up the chaos at King’s
dominion, and man, does it get wild. Marcus and his crew—Maria, Saya, Willie, and the rest—are still navigating the cutthroat world of assassin school, but this time, the stakes feel even more personal.
the fallout from Volume 1’s events lingers, and trust is in short supply. The group heads to a punk show, which sounds fun until it spirals into violence,
Betrayal, and some seriously messed-up revelations. Maria’s past with the cartel comes crashing back, and Marcus learns the hard way that loyalty in this world is fleeting.
What really stands out is the art—Wes Craig’s panels capture the frenetic energy of the punk scene and the brutality of the fights. The dialogue crackles with dark humor, and Remender doesn’t shy away from showing how these kids are both victims and perpetrators of their messed-up world. By the end, you’re left wondering who’s actually got Marcus’s back—and who’s just waiting to stab him in it. The volume’s title, 'Kids of the Black Hole,' feels eerily fitting; these characters are trapped in their own destructive orbits.
