After unforseen delays, the second issue of Reinhardt District will finally be available soon. It continues the story from the first issue, picking up where it left off.
Reinhardt District is the story of Victor Santiago, an experienced martial artist who returns to his home of RHD after being away for two years. During that time, to his dismay, his former friend, Tobias Braukner, has taken up organized crime and now leads a gang that controls the area. Now Victor has to settle in his new life at RHD, come to terms with Braukner's influence in his fights, and deal with thugs that are unfortunate enough to get on his bad side.
The second issue introduces a couple of new characters. Regis, another acquaintance of Victor, and Stoneman, a hired muscle. The story is also expanded upon and finally reveals the identity of Braukner, a character so far only alluded to.
RHD is the work of Jose Esquivel, a Dallas-based comic artist who’s worked on Space-Gun’s “Synesthetic” anthology, David Hopkin’s “One Night Stand,” and has also participated in Indy Comic Book Week with the short story “Macabro”, written by his brother, Carlos Esquive.. Born in Mexico, Jose moved to the US in the summer of 97 and is pursuing a career in design while making comics. Reinhardt District is his first self-published work.
Reinhardt District #2 will be available at the STAPLE Independent Media Expo on March 6, 2010 as a convention exclusive pre-release. Issue 1 is currently available online through Indy Planet and issue 2 will follow the week after the show.
