Rio. One of the Tomorrows is dead. Its up to Claudius to find out who killed him.
I was intrigued by The Tomorrows with its first installment and this one shifts the narrative elsewhere to focus on Claudius and his trying to pay back a friend. It's a straightforward piece in a sense because there are basic ideas at work. But it's on that's set in an intriguing place and time that has a lot of potential with what can be explored, if it can (or wants to) break out from the predictable. What keeps the book engaging this time around compared to the first is the personality and presence of Claudius and what he's attempting to do and a good part of that appeal is Jason Copland's artwork. He's able to bring out something that really stands out well with its style and the color palette used for it in order to be its own work and set the tone and atmosphere for it. I'm definitely becoming more and more curious about the work but I'm also getting that sensation that this might be one that flows a hell of a lot better when read in succession. Read Full Review
The Tomorrows, even in lighter issues like this, is something different. Something equal parts homage and unique. Pires knows what he's doing and seeing all of these issues and their varying art collected together will really be something special. For now, though, enjoy the ride. I am. Read Full Review
It’s really interesting to watch Claudius make every decision that he does. It’s a weird form of really good characterization. This and Ziritt’s artwork grab attention like crazy! There is an interesting, unrealistic color palette. This and an unrealistic world make it a sort of cyber punk related story that really stands out. This is definitely a series to keep track of.

Another solid issue but I'd like to see more of the team. Read Full Review
The Tomorrows continues to be a unique and zany tale, with this second entry being enthralling to say the least. It also gives great insight into our rebels tale, and how they handle the death of a fellow member. Despite this, there is still some added potential it's failing to reach, with there being some confusing moments within. Read Full Review
It feels as though it might still be too early to know exactly where this book is headed or what to expect next time. However, Pires has certainly presented two strong issues thus far. Hopefully next month The Tomorrows will begin to take shape. Read Full Review
The Tomorrows remains an awesomely illustrated book. It looks psychedelic and out there. It's a good look for the book. Unfortunately the story remains preachy regarding technology, society, and culture. This issue was a lot less eye-rollingly stereotypical in it's blatantly non-conformist approach to storytelling. But I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to make it through this series before it becomes too much. Read Full Review
