4.0
Shade the Changing Man, Volume 2: Edge of Vision - 3.5/5
Better than tha previous volume Peter Milligan gits intae the inner mind (literally) in tis collection. Continuin tae deal wae the 'American Scream's' effects across America, Shade alsae his tae fight his ain bodies past.
Milligan continues tae hiv n impressive imagination, usasin his tools tae explore topics other tales wid need tae dae mair metaphorically. He kin get richt intae the minds've the American folken tae see how he thinks they tick.
Hooever, he continues (lik Jamie Delano's Hellblazer) tae uase actual metaphors real dodgly, wae lang, run-on sentences, filled wae a hale laid've unneeded adjectives n other descriptors. Whilst its nae as bad as Hellblazer, its still naticable n brings the beuk doon fir me.
O'eraw, characters continue tae engage (Lenny, introduced tis volume, leuks like their gonny be a stand oot), stories dae a great job aw've utilising their ability tae literalise metaphors, but the actual metaphors are tae o'erwritten wae adjectives n suchlike tae be effective.
