The first issue of Fallout’s news was a compelling read due to its unforgettable imagery and unique views on the horrors of the atomic age. It had everything in a great comic series, but one question deep inside me is, can future issues meet the criteria it set? I’m happy to be able to report that the news from Fallout #2 is as good as its predecessor.
This time, Chris Condon and Jeffrey Alan Love took a different approach and introduced what happened after their escape from the nuclear monster and then a private fallow land entered the diner. But rather than listening to him, they look at him with doubt and fear.
As Condon writes a tense sequence between the couple, this is the opening sequence that sets the stages ahead. Half of the couple are “Mad Rob” Collins, and it’s clear from the Jump that he’s the one he hates. His girlfriend asks him where their relationship goes, and he completely humiliates her and even drives her away. However, when fallow land comes in, he warns the diner’s patrons about the outside fears, and Collins is the only person who doesn’t believe him. Things go on later in order, indicating that Collins is not the boor originally presented.

In addition to the extremely tense storytelling, news from Fallout #2 thriving thanks to Love’s creepy artwork. The character’s faces are barely visible, but the body language speaks volume. The way the fallow ground gasps and shakes the shaking shows that the horror of nuclear fallout is still catching up to him, indicating that Collins is carrying an arrogant slap on himself. But that doesn’t mean that love doesn’t skimp on fear. When news from Fallout #2 switches to nuclear-fueled monsters, you can see their faces – and the end result is horrifying as their eyes become pinpricks of light while their teeth resemble Glasgow’s smiles.
The end of a question like Question #1 is characterized by supplementary material that delves deeper into this world. More specifically, it reveals Collins’ past life and what happened to have made him such a stab. Thanks to carefully crafted lettering from Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, these back pages feel like real ads, real newspaper pages, real letters. It helps you fully immerse your readers in the world of news from Fallout.
News from Fallout #2 continues to move forward in the debut issue, providing deeper insights into the character, immersing readers in a world ingrained in nuclear-age delusions and horror. Condon and Love are creating something special here, and I am intrigued to see where it goes in the future matters.
“News from Fallout” #2 is a slow burn that is packed with delusions
