5.0
Book – The Damned, Vol 2: Ill Gotten
Author – Cullen Bunn, Brian Hurtt
Star rating - ★★★★★
No. of Pages – 136
Cover – Perfect
Would I read it again – Yes!
Genre – Comic, Crime, Demon, Paranormal, Noir
** COPY RECEIVED THROUGH NETGALLEY **
I was thrilled when this came up for review, because I absolutely loved Volume 1. This volume picked up from the end of the previous one, continuing the story without repeating all that had previously happened. The plotting, as with Volume 1, was brilliantly arranged, well explored, and combined with some beautifully noir-inspired illustrations.
This Volume introduced new, intriguing characters, while continuing with old characters, who made it feel familiar. The characters were well explored, following the story arc and developing with each new revelation. The story arc moved along nicely, both in the individual Volume, as well as continuing the overall story arc of both Volumes.
I loved the addition of showing that innocent humans could see demons as humans, not as their demon form. It was great to see the panels that showed them as first demons, from Eddie's POV, then as humans from the humans POV.
I can't wait to read more of this series. I'll definitely be buying the volumes in paperback.
