In vol. 2 we dive into the relationship of Hum & Serkka. There are "quests" for each chapter to find magical items so Hum can make his potion to "fix" his wife, bet that'll go over well.

Again, I'm having a terrible time with the art, it's so distracting.

While I like when the lettering indicates different tone or accents or types of speech, sometimes it's too faint or too small and I need to zoom in on my Kindle and that takes me out of an immersive reading experience.

Simon Spurrier's fantasy genre characters and worlds are enjoyable, visually riveting, and grounded in human folly.

The art in this volume was again stunning and very busy, but I think a lot easier to follow story-wise than the first volume. Although, it might just be that I'd gotten used to it after 5 issues.

As far as the plot goes, this was a lot more straightforward and barebones compared to the first volume, to its detriment I think. It did however allow for more exploration of the focal relationship, which in turn led to the wallop that was the last few pages.

So far this has been a fantastic series, I'm excited to see how how it concludes.
