But will Achillia and Antonius solve the mystery and and prove Rubria's innocence in time, or will Nero's swift vengeance strike first?
Milligan and company knocked it out of the park with this one. The story is absorbing and is a visual treat. The biggest disappointment is having to wait until the next issue to find out what happens next. Read Full Review
BRITANNIA: WE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE #2 is an entertaining issue that adds new story elements and shifts the action to the gladiator arena. Read Full Review
Overall, this is a very satisfying issue. The mystery narrative is progressing nicely, and I’m looking forward to seeing where Milligan takes the story in the next two issues. The art is gorgeous, and it’s reason enough to pick up the book on its own. Read Full Review
Britannia has returned stronger than ever. There is really no other way for me to say it. Where the first series may have seemed a little plotting during world building moments, the second flourishes due to all of that hard work. Valiant is really on top of their game. Read Full Review
The second series of "Britannia" continues to impress, as the mystery carries Antonius into the gladiator's arena. This is fast paced, with interesting dialogue and characterization. Man, Nero is an asshole! This series is not like anything else out there right now, and is the stronger because of it.
I mostly buy this comic for the artwork but I feel as though the story is not as good as the first series so far. Who knows maybe the last two issues will so amazing that it will just blow away the first series but right now i feel as though it is not as well written.
