Raven #2 – 2016 continues the solo journey of one of DC Comics’ most enigmatic and emotionally complex heroines. Written by Marv Wolfman, the legendary co-creator of Raven, this issue delves deeper into her internal conflict and search for belonging, all while she’s drawn into a mystery that threatens her new life in San Francisco.
Following the events of the first issue, Raven is still trying to adjust to a “normal” life among her relatives and new classmates — a stark contrast to her dark, mystical origins in Azarath and her battles alongside the Teen Titans. But her past is never far behind. In this chapter, a mysterious and powerful force continues abducting people, and Raven begins to realise this might be more than a local threat — it could be connected to something darker, something cosmic.
Marv Wolfman’s writing captures Raven’s voice perfectly: introspective, conflicted, but never without strength. Her internal monologue is rich and relatable, especially for readers familiar with her constant struggle to balance her demonic heritage with her desire to do good. There’s a strong sense of duality throughout the issue — both in Raven’s inner world and in the contrast between her quiet, school-life setting and the growing supernatural danger.
The artwork by Alisson Borges is sleek and emotive, with expressive facial work and dramatic panel layouts that enhance the emotional tension. Raven's powers are illustrated with flair — dark energy swirling in dramatic contrast to the soft tones of her civilian life — making the magic feel both powerful and unnerving. The blend of modern teen drama and gothic fantasy is handled beautifully through the visuals, making the issue feel fresh and cinematic.
Raven #2 builds momentum for a series that’s as much about identity and inner strength as it is about battling evil. Fans of supernatural superheroes, coming-of-age stories, and DC’s mystical side will find a lot to enjoy here. It’s a strong continuation of a character-driven arc that explores what it means to be human — even when you’re half-demon.
