While I might not have loved it as much as I did Vol 1, it is still a fantastic continuation with the series.
While Pretty Deadly is not "officially" cancelled (allegedly), and there might never be any hope for a return date for Vol 3, I will happily hold out hope for it. It's a series worth waiting for.

The art is so beautiful, but the story is confusing and challenging and I still don't know if I actually *like* it.

I read volume 1 forever ago and don't remember the specifics- this might be worth 5 stars if I re-learn the backgrounds on some characters. As a standalone, it's a pretty good western story with absolutely BREATHTAKING art style.

I seem to be the opposite of most people on this volume as I found it more confusing than the first. Maybe it's because the storytelling is much more visual or maybe I just need a second read through but I did miss the greater influence of the western setting and the lyrical narrative of the first volume. Don't get me wrong, it's still here, and it still feels very much like Pretty Deadly, it just didn't grab me as much this time. Whilst the artwork might be slightly more confusing than the first volume it's still jaw-dropping with some amazing layouts and exceptional colouring once again. There's also a really useful and informative breakdown of certain scenes in the extras section at the back of the volume that shows how much thought has gone into each moment. It still has all the grand scope, philosophical musings, and powerful characters of the first volume, and it's still one of the most unique comics out there at the moment, so it's only really my expectations and personal preferences that let me down this time around. I'm not going anywhere though, it's still one of my favourite things out there and I'll be glad to get my hands on volume 3 whenever that appears.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix

- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I was a little surprised how much more I liked this vs. the first volume. The beauty of the art is absolutely stunning and the storyline structure is really amped up in this book making it more engrossing and easier to follow without losing its complexity.

Liked this volume a bit less. Not entirely sure why, just wasn’t my jam as much.
