Blame!, Volume 2 by Tsutomu Nihei

2 is a much easy read than 1, mostly due to more dialogue and actual explanation to what's going on. This does change the dynamic to be less ambiguous, losing this sense of discovery volume 1 gave. The best parts are still here. Tsutomu Nihei's art is outstanding. Spine tingling monster designs. Jaw dropping action sequences. Beautiful backgrounds of barren mechanical landscapes.

Not the most coherent story but I'm liking that there's stakes and the gun doesn't solve every problem. I have a feeling there isn't a satisfying conclusion to the series but maybe there doesn't need to be. I wish the action was easier to follow but it's very creatively drawn

A step up from the first one. Enjoyed that there was more dialogue, thus making the story a bit more tangible. Story structure is a bit repetitive though. Protagonists walk from point A to B - find something or someone that inches the plot forward - get attacked - shoot gun that goes boom - repeat.

Still an interesting, claustrophobic and simultaneously gargantuan world that has yet to fully pull me in.
