PRIMORDIAL #2 is one of those rare second issues that manages to outshine it's excellent debut issue as the creative team sucks you in with a brilliantly laid out yarn in both word and form that injects a massive layer of emotional investment into this sci-fi/noir thriller and takes you on a journey with its characters and plays up the mystery at the same time in a thrilling journey leaving you clambering to know more by its end.

Like I said at the start of the review from Primordial #2, getting to watch a creative team hit a home run with an earlier series and then proceed to reunite and hit another home run is nothing but awe-inspiring. The words and narrative of Lemire have given Sorrentino and Stewart an incredible scaffolding to showcase an endless thrilling world that has me itching for the next issue. Read Full Review

Primordial #2 is visual storytelling at its finest. Lemire takes a step back and lets Sorrentino and Stewart tell the story, and the effect is breathtaking. The book's plot is still inscrutable, but that's okay because this issue is a work of art. Read Full Review

Sorrentino and Lemire use the visual language introduced in Primordial #1 to twist space-time and shift perspectives so that few words are required to explore the dog's journey. Even as they provide the animals with some recognizable language, the majority of communication is visual with precisely selected panels and clear expressions across multiple styles.

All but dropping its human narrative, Primordial uses its second issue to let us hang out with a space dog and be awed by the implications of the infinite. Read Full Review

Primordial #2 story is quite vague and not easily understandable without prior knowledge of its background. The fragmentation of the narrative across time and space makes it hard to follow or understand what is happening. Some of the panels are also blurry and it is hard to make out the actual characters, seen in the darker panels. From my perspective, the artwork is nothing to write home about and the fragmented storyline takes away from the story's linear progression. The lack of a clear path and the disconnect created by the blurry artwork takes away from the comic making it too simple and non-memorable. Read Full Review

Another amazing issue from Lemire and Sorrentino. My LCS gave this and Good Asian to me a week early which was nice. The splash pages are incredible, with some seriously innovative panelling by Sorrentino. I know his art isn't for everyone, but it really works for the story Lemire is trying to tell. This is one of the best creative teams working in comics today. Pick up anything by the two of them.

Absolutely tragic, yet still hopeful in tone, this second issue of Primordial isn’t as vague and strange compared to the first chapter, which I particularly enjoyed. The one thing that really stuck out to me was the lack of dialogue and mostly visual storytelling. Sorrentino’s beautiful, trippy art amazes, while Lemire’s focused and careful dialogue placement pulls heartstrings for Laika’s character. Absolutely beautifully done second chapter.

This story is giving me some real WE3 vibes and I don't really mean that as a criticism, more an observation. Lemire is just getting out of the way and letting Sorrentino shine. The way Stewart is able to layer different textures of color on top of Sorrentino's pencils really makes for a unique reading experience. As Laika moves through outer space to the empty, white place we see past and present collide and the colors kept everything orderly from a reader's perspective. It really enhanced the otherworldly effect of Sorrentino's art and showed off what makes comics so unique as a medium.

I wish we got more of an idea about the actual mystery but, it's so well drawn and interesting that I can't be mad.

i like the part where the animals talked to each other
