Every great detective has their first case. For John Shaft, that first case seems simple enough. But tracking down a missing person for his girlfriend quickly turns into a matter of life and death. With the bodies piling up, Shaft realizes he’s in over his head. But can he stay alive long enough to figure out what is going on, or will his first case be the death of John Shaft?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

*** Beware \u2013 spoilers may be found below ***<\/p>\n

The Good:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Still diggin’ the art by Bilquis Evely<\/b><\/span>.<\/li>\n
  • “Could spot a booster from a mile away.  That’s ’cause I used to be a booster.”<\/li>\n
  • Double page splash showing Shaft’s relationship deepening.<\/li>\n
  • “Keeping her safe is the most important thing.  That’s the only thing keeping the four-eyed ************ alive.”<\/li>\n
  • “It was like someone opened a cage and let the animal out.”<\/li>\n
  • Evely<\/strong> gets the feel of the period down pat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The Bad:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • “The fact that they’re following us this close says a lot.  First, they don’t care if we know.  Second, if they don’t care that we know, they don’t think we’re a problem.”<\/li>\n
    • “They were either cops or gangsters…”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The Ugly:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • The last page of the issue… and I can’t wait for #3!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Shaft #2<\/b> should appeal to fans of the Shaft<\/strong><\/em> movies and is for mature audiences due to adult language.<\/span><\/p>\n
