I preferred the art style of the first volume of Horizon Zero Dawn Graphic novels, however these artists very effectively conveyed the story in the form of pictures.

I really enjoyed this volume. While volume 1 focused on Talanah, volume 2 focuses on Erend. His story benefits from having Aloy in it for the whole ride and is also a much concise adventure, ends satisfying enough. Plus it ties in perfectly with Erend’s side quest in Forbidden West.
It left me with a nice smile after finishing. Heartwarming to find out backstory on other characters.
I highly recommend this one to fans. Adds to the lore and has multiple guest stars.

Horizon Zero Dawn: Liberation is a great addition to the HZD universe, telling a story that happens during a time we had only heard about in game. While this story takes place during Horizon Zero Dawn; with Aloy and Erend searching for a man who played a part in Erend’s sister, Ersa’s, death, it’s mostly Erend telling Aloy about Ersa and the War on Meridian by the Oseram and Carja to dispose of the Mad Sun-King. I loved being able to experience the time of this war, and seeing how characters like Ersa and the then Carja prince, Avad, participated in freeing Meridian from the constant death and slavery that King Jiran’s reign entailed. You also get to see interactions between Erend and Ersa; further showing how much he cares about and respects his sister.
The art isn’t bad but it’s not the greatest either. Considering how beautiful a world this game is, I felt that the art just didn’t express that. It should’ve been more life-like and less cartoon-ish and much more colorful. Though I will say the different tribes outfits were well done, the Carja with their over the top intricate wear looked just as it should, as did the Oseram and all the metal they wear.
It’s a short comic but you learn a great deal and I would recommend it to anyone who loved the world and story of Horizon Zero Dawn.
