Nice little immediate follow-up to Light, though as a "sequel" it is a little odd. Part of that is the format of "silent" graphic novel, but there's also an art style shift into the more abstract, and a tonal shift from rollicking adventure to...almost mourning? Definitely worse than Light but not without its own charms.

After being dismissed earlier than usual in class, I decided to drop by at a mall and visit our local bookstore; I just thought it would be a great idea to do my usual routine in there--that is, to have long silent, walks along shelves upon shelves of books while running my fingers on their spines (ala Liesel Meminger) to relieve me of my stress during the midterms week. Then, the sight of this book greeted me, and since the bookworm in me can't resist the sight of a fairly short and beautifully drawn wordless comic, I gave it a go just to pass the time before I decide to go home.
I liked the artful illustrations, there were some parts that I think needed some dialogue to be understood but it's fine since, I think, the author wanted the readers to create their own interpretation of the whole story.
I did not know that there was a previous issue so that makes this comic a sequel, but somehow, in my experience it is still readable as a stand alone. Maybe not having read issue #1 is the reason why I did not enjoy it wholly enough. So next time I visit the bookstore, I'm going to try to find the first one and see if my opinion changes.

I'm at lost.
It's art. It's what you make it.
But here's my interpretation because I want to:
What I wrote is all bullshit. But, I encourage you to make your own and do not copy my thoughts. If we think the same, high five!
EDIT: I didn't know it's a sequel. Meh. Never mind what I wrote =.=

Spoiler
I'm calling them Black and White. They are personally close to each other. White & Black go on their adventure together. They discover a place that is new to them and get separated. Black can't escape the 4 panels while White in another side/world is being haunted by a monster. White is pretty aggressive. Whenever he sees the creature, he punches it on the face. The unknown creature is probably his own demon. Subsequently, he was caught by a white guy with a cloudy hair. The white guy with the cloudy hair is reality. On the other side, Black encounters his people and the feeling of belongingness engulfs him. So, he stayed together with other imaginary friends left by the other Whites. Black is an imaginary friend of White. The ending shows White already grew up and reminiscing his path of childhood.What I wrote is all bullshit.

2,5/5. A very unique style for a wordless comic book. I really like and enjoy the originality but I can't say I enjoy the story much, a bit empty and a bit too weird. Wouldn't say meaningless, but it was lacking something for me to really appreciate this one.
