Cotton Tales, Vol. 2 by Loputyn
3.0
The second volume of “Cotton Tales,” presumably the final installment, raises more questions than it answers in this graphic novel duology. We continue to accompany Nicholas on his journey, trying to decipher the mysteries and strange occurrences surrounding him. There’s a palpable tension in the air, underscored by the peculiar behavior of the adults.
I found the first volume far more compelling than the second. While the illustrations remain impeccable, the storyline seems to unravel. It feels rushed, leaving behind plot holes that remain unaddressed. How did Agatha’s lineage come to possess this power? Why was she chosen?
This power acts as a bridge between the human and spiritual realms, where beings known as sylvillags, resembling white rabbits, guide those chosen with these abilities through life. They reveal truths through dreams, visions, and intuition. The story brimmed with potential, but it appears to have been lost in the haste to conclude the project.
What becomes of Nicholas and the others? What about his father? And why was the fact that Nicholas had been in a coma for seven years, so quickly glossed over? Too many questions linger, and not enough answers are given, leaving much to be desired.
