They’re Not Like Us #2 (2015) deepens the unsettling narrative introduced in the debut issue of this bold and stylish series from Image Comics. Written by Eric Stephenson and illustrated by Simon Gane, this second chapter draws readers further into a world where gifted young individuals struggle against a society that fears and rejects them—not for what they do, but for what they are.
Having narrowly escaped her old life, protagonist Sid finds herself inducted into a secretive collective of telepaths, empaths, and other extraordinary minds. But unlike traditional heroes, these young outcasts follow their own uncompromising rules. This issue explores the group’s ideology, their resentment towards mainstream society, and the lengths they are willing to go to remain hidden and free.
Eric Stephenson’s writing challenges conventional morality with sharp dialogue and complex character dynamics, presenting a psychological twist on the classic “outsiders with powers” trope. Simon Gane’s artwork, with bold linework and expressive layouts, perfectly complements the rebellious tone of the narrative. The muted, moody colour palette by Jordie Bellaire adds further weight to the story's gritty realism, distinguishing the series as something both cerebral and emotionally intense.
They’re Not Like Us #2 isn’t your typical super-powered comic—it’s a sharp, subversive take on generational divide, alienation, and control, wrapped in a beautifully illustrated package. Ideal for fans of thought-provoking, character-driven storytelling with a punk edge.
