The encounter with the Bengal Ripper puts the group's survival to the test. Their lives now rest on Simon's shoulders, but in the Broken Lands every wrong step comes with a consequence.
Tala and Hototo, now joined by their new friends, Humbo and Alice, find themselves dragged onto a new and unsafe path. Reaching the train to Mother Megalopolis Nine is becoming an uncertain milestone.
This has become my new favorite book of 2020, and I don't see that changing for the foreseeable future. Read Full Review
We Live is moving at its own pace that works well for immersing us into the world even more. I really love the visuals of the whole thing from top to bottom as it feels like everything has meaning behind it and that it could be dug into in some really neat ways. I'm less connected to the characters overall since we're focusing on the kids and they're not exactly my cup of tea but seeing the world through their eyes and how they're trying to survive is really well done. The bit of backstory we get on Humbo and Alice adds some new nuance to things and I'm excited to see where things go next with this as they push further ahead toward their destination.

I'm rating this issue a point lower than the first. Why? The flow of the story misses it in two little spots. I felt like they could have slowed down instead of not developing one of the main scenes. However, overall a great comic, artwork is just incredible, I like all of the characters. For the first time we are seeing the "real" Alice. Look forward to issue three.
