Oliver #2 - 2019 continues the gritty, reimagined take on Oliver Twist with bold storytelling, striking visuals, and a rich dystopian atmosphere that pushes this adaptation far beyond its Victorian roots. Written by Gary Whitta (screenwriter of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), this issue deepens the mystery surrounding Oliver’s origin while expanding the world into a layered post-apocalyptic London filled with tension, rebellion, and fractured identities.

In this second chapter, we see Oliver grappling with his place in a war-ravaged society that is both hostile and strangely protective toward him. Raised by genetically engineered soldiers thought to be extinct, Oliver is far from an ordinary boy — and as more is revealed about his lineage and purpose, the stakes become clearer. Whitta’s dialogue is sharp, naturalistic, and full of narrative momentum, keeping readers engaged as secrets begin to surface.

The artwork by Darick Robertson (co-creator of Transmetropolitan and The Boys) is dynamic and detailed, perfectly balancing grim, war-torn landscapes with intimate character expressions. Robertson’s London is dark but alive, drenched in atmosphere and crumbling grandeur. The action is fluid and impactful, while the quieter moments carry emotional weight, giving the story a cinematic quality that enhances the narrative’s tone.

Oliver #2 not only builds on the promise of the debut issue, it elevates the entire concept — fusing classic literary inspiration with modern sci-fi grit. It’s a fresh, intelligent take on the hero’s journey, with strong world-building and emotionally resonant stakes.
