This is obviously a big story, and it's only going to get bigger as it continues. Read Full Review

'Oblivion Song' is a story made for the long haul, an involving drama that should be soaked-in month after month. It's about people facing tragedy and the consequences of that tragedy. The monsters are for show, the characters are for the plot. No one does that better than Kirkman. This is a season-long drama that can't be binge-watched over a weekend. 'Song' is an evolving dystopian fantasy built on pain and obsession, a gripping tale that is just getting started. This is a must-buy.  Read Full Review

Really fun issue that explained some of the mysteries behind Oblivion Song, as well as set up some new ones. Great character development and storytelling by both the writer and artist. There's a lot to love about this new series. Read Full Review

Oblivion Song #2 delivers a deep examination of its protagonist in a detailed, world-building issue brought down by a jarring departure from the fast paced progression and action of the first issue. Read Full Review

The story continues to intrigue me, but the style of art is failing to win me over in this series. Sorry if that borders on sacrilege but to me, the story and art aren't compatible in the context of this story. There is a decent enough book here, albeit one that I haven't fallen in love with yet.

Imo anothersolid issue slowly setting things up. I'm really enjoying this new title by Kirkman.

It's a decent issue. The story itself is moving along nicely. We find out more about the events of the transition. The artwork is still cartoonish but I'll embrace it. Kirkman seems to like it so we'll see where Felici's art goes.

I completely forget have solicited it. I read the french Book with all 6 issue already translated & I find it better than month to month reading. It's not the first Image ongoing who give me this impression.

Cover - 2/2 related to this part of the story.
Writing - 2.5/3 better, but I appreciate is less when in month to month reading.
Arts - 3/3 Still perfect for this univers
Feeling - I will wait for the next TPBs. 1/2

It may just be me but I like that Kirkman doesn’t use narration boxes.

Kirkman is taking his time setting up these characters. There is still a lot more to learn, but I'm still very interested. I continue to love the design of Oblivion.

Kirkman really knows how to use personal narrative to build huge worlds. It is not easy but the makes it look that way. Oblivion Song 2 gives us a deeper look at our main character and a world he wants to save, but what happens when both world(s) really don't want that? What happens when we have all decided to accept fate and move on? Those questions are at the core of this action sci fi drama. Kirkman builds the world through a lot dialogue in this issue and the team creates a decent number of supporting characters that all seem to agree on quitting. This is not the most action packed issue number 2 but it moves well and helps us understand why one man is the last on trying to save those who are left behind.

Not a good book.

Worth persisting with for now.

Didn't really find this issue that engaging. Not bad though.
