This issue has amazing pacing and is over way before you’re ready like an episode of your fav show leaving you hyped up and anxious to hop on the next installment. The removal of her powers, while obviously temporary provides an excellent plot device to showcase just why it is Amanda is so capable and the fact it’s not just her ability to mentally tinker with machines. The issue takes a sharp turn from the tone of #1 but at the same time it isn't jarring. We got the feeling Livewire was up for from hard times but there was still an almost comedic, if darkly so tone to the first one. This issue however, we get deep in the bad and we get into it fast. If the first issue wasn't enough to sell the series this one definitely hits home the nature of how serious the repercussions of Livewire's actions were in Harbinger Wars 2. It also really sets the pace for a hard hitting Jason Bourne-esque style adventure, it almost feels like something Ed Brubaker would have written when he was writing Bucky Barnes as Cap, if that's not a compliment I don't know what is.
