While the first graphic novel was so exciting and full of action, this sequel was much more contemplative and had quite a lot of depth. We really get to know a lot about Andy’s past and how she has had to survive for millennia, and how that has changed her heart. Her story, especially after being reunited with Noriko and her reaction to it really broke my heart. Her loneliness and particularly the last scene really hit me hard. Noriko on the other hand is hardened by her experiences and is ready to burn it all down - and frankly when you listen to the points she makes, it almost makes you wanna believe her. The art style was interesting as usual, and I particularly loved the ancient war panels and the one’s on the water. All the stabbing scenes looked pretty cool too (never thought I’d say that lol 😂). But ultimately I feel the strength of this series is in the characters and the dialogue, which were both excellent. I’m really enjoying the refreshing contrast that Nile brings to the team, who are all pretty ancient and cynical and maybe even given up on some things, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the finale.
