After the first issue of The White Trees, I had high expectations and this team wasn’t about to let those expectations go unmet. They delivered a glorious second issue with everything I wanted and more. Read Full Review

As Zdarsky and Anka's first major foray into fantasy, this series has been a massive success, and readers can only hope that there will be more content in this universe. Read Full Review

The colors may paint a bright vivid world, but WHITE TREES #2's plot showcases the dark, emotional side of the fantasy land. Plainly put, White Trees is a fantasy that'll go down as a classic. Read Full Review

Overall this is one heck of an entertaining comic book, the unmistakably cinematic visual elements add to the brilliant use of more traditional sequential art storytelling. Zdarsky and company pack so much complex storytelling into this dense two issue narrative that it reads like a graphic novel. If you missed out on the first issue, as many local shops sold out, fear not. The good people at Image Comics have gone back for a second printing of issue #1 so it should be available shortly. I recommend grabbing both as this will hopefully be only our first visit to the world of Blacksand. Read Full Review

White Trees #2 is a bittersweet tale that lingers after the final panel is read. It really is stunning how well crafted the series as a whole feels with there being only two issues. Read Full Review

White Trees was a quick and blessing breeze which came along as fast as it went away. Yet, it is easily one of the best fantasy comics of the year because whatever the team chose to do, they did it right. If you don't like the story you'll like the characters, if not that the artwork. It's a simple and entertaining plot done with tons of style and passions easily making this a must read. Read Full Review

The White Trees is beautiful in so many ways; the narrative craft and visual aesthetics on display here are nothing less than gorgeous. Read Full Review

Zdarskys trademark voice was all-but absent in the previous issue, but here its very distinct and his range as a writer is on full-display. The dialogue is full of humor and heartbreak, as is the story itself. The genius lettering by Aditya Bidikar adds just enough personality to Zdarskys words, while keeping within the style of this dark and broody tale. I only hope this whole team returns to the world of Blacksand one day soon. Read Full Review

The first issue of The White Trees was so smart about its worldbuilding and scope that it seemed capable of sustaining an ongoing series to further build on all that, yet it's to the creative team's credit that they stick the landing on the single story they want to tell in this realm.
