Alias, Vol. 2: Come Home by Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Gaydos, Mark Bagley

3.0

I wasn't sure if I wanted to read the second volume of this series, but decided to go ahead since I had access to it and I'm glad I did.

The main plot for these issues was much more intriguing than the previous ones, and did a decent job of balancing messages about the bigotry unique to the Marvel Universe with actual bigotry that people experience in the real world.

Like most of the stories in this series everything wasn't resolved perfectly in the end by any means, but the route of absolute tragedy was avoided, which I appreciate.

I didn't really enjoy the final issue in this volume, but I was glad Jessica and Luke seemed to clear some things up since I felt that Luke was being seen in an unfair light before.

Overall the arc included here was much more interesting than those in the first volume, and I loved the creativity and thought that went into the creation of Rebecca's journal. The cover art for this series is very haunting, and it was a clever idea to expand upon it.
