Free of the hex that has plagued it, the ghoulem's head begins to reveal its secrets-but its reawakening does not go unnoticed. Meanwhile, Joss, Ichabod and the others attend the 'morning ceremony' of their late friend, where tensions run high, and the Celestials pay a visit to the shantytown to make pronouncements on the water crisis.
Engineward caught my attention with the stylish covers that are distinctive and really do draw the eye. Once inside, the book has to prove itself, however. The first issue offered up a lot of interesting ideas but the presentation left me just a touch distanced from it. This issue pushes me all-in on what's going on as it's very character focused, explores the society and rituals well, digs into some neat things with the Celestials, and speaks to a larger storyline that goes back who knows how far. It's definitely worth reading both issues at one time to get the big picture and push but this installment has me excited to see what comes next and how Joe Eisma will illustrate it as his design work is going to be key to really making it work.
