There was also a plot point about how unsavory the business of superpowered repossessors really was. In the first issue, when they conscripted Night Knight, it wasn't clear that all of the Paybacks team was made of failed heroes, but this issue starts to make that pretty explicit. That part of it worked, but what didn't was the references to Mr. Pierce, who runs the whole operation, and how sketchy that makes it all seem. It seems obvious to me that it would be sketchy, and we're not enough in the characters' heads to understand why they would think otherwise, so it just felt like them trying to catch up to what we already know.

I've been a bit too negative so far, but only because this has been so good that the negatives really stick out. I loved the sense of creativity that the first issue had, of just about anything could happen or could exist, and that continues here. The particular stand out moment was the discovery that one item they had to repossess was a gun that uses pieces of someone's soul as ammunition. There were several more in here, and I loved seeing that creative element carry over into this issue.
I still really liked this issue, despite my negativity. All the positives continued into this issue, and I only bring up the negatives because they stick out after so much good. Still, I'm in no danger of dropping this series anytime soon - it's just too much fun.
