I love Brian K. Vaughan's stories, but this installment, is definitely not one of my favorites. It wasn't bad, it isn't good either.

So volume 2 collects issue 6-10 of Private Eye that you can get for free, or if you want to donate, you can do that too. To get it, visit this site: http://panelsyndicate.com.

Going back, I'd have to say I loved the first volume because of how unique the concept of it is.

Life without the internet. Hmmmm. Seems like a life I wont be able to live with. Internet has now become of every day life. A lot of people use internet, some even use it for work. So imagine if all of that was gone for a long time. Private Eye is set in a world without internet, where people hire PI to find out more about their family, history and stuff. But this is illegal, at least a decade.

Okay so here are my mini thoughts on this volume.

1. I loved the world-building.
2. I loved the characters.
3. It has a weak villain.
4. He illusrations were good with bright colors.
5. It will keep you at the edge of your seat.
6. The climax was a big surprise. I did not expect it at all.
7. I really wish it has a deeper story than this.

Overall, I still think this is a great graphic novel and would recommend it to everyone.

Immediately escalated the story in such an interesting way. Great series with a classic ending.

The second half of the brightly-coloured future noir world that has obsessively embraced privacy, and the difficulties of being a PI in a society where everyone wears masks. Our heroes' quest for a killer has lead him to a conspiracy to bring back, of all things, Internet. Murder and mayhem and pointed commentary on whether a hyper-private or a hyper-public world will end up making everybody more self-obsessed and generally useless. Fabulous art, sharp writing, and a brilliant climax. Good stuff.
