Blame!, Volume 2 by Tsutomu Nihei

5.0

Re-read. I love how disorienting this series is. Not that you could ever get your bearings but suddenly a giant robot knocks you through a wall and down 400 floors. Half this volume is battling (not my fav), the other is narrative (expository), which is a big change from the murkiness of the first. Realizing now just how much this sets up for what's to come and honestly having read through before it did answer some lingering questions I had from reading it three years ago (to the date almost!). A series I'm glad I've kept on the shelf to revisit because the world-building through the artwork is so consistently breathtaking and oppressively huge, a feeling enhanced by these larger "MASTER" editions. You can really soak it up although I'm definitely speeding through this read-through to keep the momentum going.
