Spoiler: The rebellion fails. Silk turns traitor, to absolutely no one's surprise. Momo, Skylocke, and Izak go on the run in New Japan. Rai is banished to Earth. Also, Fructose Farm in Sector I cannot remember and Prynne Preservation Society in Sector 1642? *Chef's kiss*

Once again, the art is fantastic. It's really got a different feel from the other Valiant books and it's great. I love the colors used throughout the series. There are some awesome action scenes that show off the characters and Crain's artistic chops.
This book picks up where the first one left off. Rai is developed a lot more in this book. It shows off more of what he is capable of and gives him more of a personality. The supporting cast of characters is good too. The plot takes the struggle against Father's regime to the next level. I'm excited to pick up the next book in this series.

Still a great looking comic.
Story-wise this second volume is a step forward. Now that the world and the characters are established and the main character knows his purpose the book focuses on the attempt to bring Father, New Japan’s omnipotent and omniscient ruler down. But to have a chance for that to happen the Anti-tech revolutionaries and the positronic AIs must overcome their own issues with each other.
The relationships between humans and their AI companions and also between New Japan and Earth come into sharper focus in this second volume.
I really enjoyed this. And having all these different worlds/eras on the different levels of New Japan not only gives the artist a lot of opportunity to shine but also brings some welcome variety for the reader.
Pretty cool stuff.

This book is stunning from start to finish and beautiful meditation on free will, power, slavery, and the fight for personal liberty. Every page of this book is beautiful to behold and I can't wait to start on the next issue.
