Story : Aniruddho Chakraborty
Art : Tarun Kumar Sahu

[Editors Note : If you want earlier issue info first, check out Anant's review of #1)
VRICA is a series set in the burbs of New Delhi, born out of the minds of our friends over at Chariot Comics. The story revolves around a tactical response team that has in its midst a super-soldier, his origins shrouded in mystery and some confusing facts which I'm still figuring out.

Now, the issue is jam packed with action, blood, gore and cussing. Just the way I like it.
I like the story. It’s intriguing.
I do however want to know what’s going on in Aniruddho’s head! What possible plans could he have for these characters?!

I do enjoy the art done by Sahu. But I’m a little off about the tone that the colours take. I mean for a comic that has dark elements in it, the colours at times seem a little too... how shall I put it... HAPPY!! Apart from that, I love what Sahu has done, I have seen his other work and I think he is exceptionally talented and quite versatile as an artist.
Not too much to dislike with the issue. Just the tone as I mentioned.
I do like the story, I do like where this is going and where this is coming from. I remember reading the first VRICA ages ago, back when I first met Aniruddho and it caught my attention them.

Here’s hoping that his style of writing and Tarun’s style of artwork keep us interested and on our toes for a long time.

If I have to rate it I’ll give it an 8 for story, 6.5 for art. So I’ll give it an overall 7.5 out of 10.
