AND-I'm probably stopping here, as while the art is IMMACULATE...you guys don't really have much of a story here.
Akolyte reads like the kind of charcter old school publishers would try to push in the Bronze age, have his book get cancelled, and then have his story resolved in either Marvel Team-Up, or other publications.
TO CLARIFY-there is a lot of good here, but you need to make your villains more threatening, and your hero more engaging.

Okay I'ma be real, the artwork is IMMACULATE, some of the best I've ever seen...but the STORY is simultaneously padded, and rushed at the same time.
First issue, you skip the "I'm a kid with superpowers, WHAT?" bit straight to him getting a mentor, and the only fighting is a training arc, so no real stakes.
Second issue, he OWNS the bank robbbers almost instantly, with no danger towards him or anyone else(sans the idiot who mocks his captors), and when we get the REAL villains...BOOK OVER! Like...NO that's where the book should've STARTED, with the INTERESTING threat!
Once again, good art, but...OKAY story, I feel you could do better. I'ma read the 3rd, let's see how you bring it home.

@ShiningExoticAardvark: firstly thank you for reading Akolyte. This story was written in the same style as a Starwars story. imagine you are starting Akolyte #1 but you are actually reading the end of his training origin. Issue 2 starts years after the events of issue 1. Similar to how we started on Episode 4 of Starwars. Story gaps were placed purposely. Everything will tie together but you are going for a journey. Hopefully you stay on for the ride. if not, thank you once again for checking it out.
