The world has only ever known order. There is no feast, there is no famine, there is just enough. There is no flood, there is no drought, there is just enough. The overlords make everything perfect, keeping everything in harmonious moderation, under one condition, one great sacrifice has now come due.
Children, most with no names that we know, travel in fear knowing that they have been harvested for sacrifice. Read Full Review
The Sacrificers continues to be weird in all the best ways, and between the stellar art and existential dialog, I hope this book is around for a while because this is the flavor of weirdness the world needs more of. Read Full Review
THE SACRIFICERS #2 is an emotional rollercoaster exploring how different people from different walks of life perceive an unavoidable fate. Reminders writing is the best its ever been, and Fiumaras art delivers one gut punch after another. Read Full Review
Fiumara delivers beautifully detailed and breathtaking imagery throughout the issue. The visuals capture the eye and the imagination and I find myself looking through panels and pages to immerse myself in the tone and emotion of the story. Read Full Review
As with issues#1 Remender continues to pull no punches, and The Sacrificers already represents some of his most dark, strange, and wonderfully poetic work. It's an absorbing, tense story drenched in high fantasy goodness topped off with majestic artwork. A work well on the way to becoming another Rick Remender & Image comics master collaboration!

"The Sacrificers" delivers another beautifully gut-wrenching issue that explores the different cultures living under the facade of peace and how others believe death is not to be feared but embraced. Read Full Review
In The Sacrificers #2, Rick Remender and Max Fiumara delve into Tomorrow's harsh world and its overlords' demands from communities. This issue introduces diverse Sacrificers, reflecting their communities' varying treatment. Remender's signature ambiguity engages readers while expanding the narrative. However, it lacks his usual moments of profound silence. The artwork blends seamlessly with the story, breathing life into characters and enhancing the overall experience. It is genuinely exciting that the first issue was successful and wish the same for the second issue. Read Full Review

The world building is fantastic in this. A testament to the storytelling ability of Mr Remender. 2 issues in and we know so much about how this world operates and what these select few Sacrificers experience dependant on their culture.
We still don't have full answers but it is clear this story is going to pose interesting questions about the nature of faith duty and... sacrifice.
Not much happens in this issue. They pick up an Orca creature, who gives herself willingly (I think it's a female, but not sure). She's the only one that thinks the end of their journey will work out well. She ends up being correct -- for now. The two humans are really crappy people who beat on the Orca character for no reason. The twist makes you wonder what is going on, let's see where it leads.
