Picking up shortly after where the first issue left off, the second issue focuses on a marriage that will forge orc alliances between two powerful dynasties, and gives the readers a closer look into the personal lives of Tara and Callum.

This is a necessary issue, as it lays groundwork for the rest of the story, but there isn’t much that goes on so when it once again ends abruptly, you can’t help but feel you just got a “filler episode”. At least that’s exactly what I would have thought had I waited a month from the first issue for this.

The Hunger and the Dusk offers an immersive story and an equally immersive artwork, with characters you cannot help but love. Me? Obsessed with you? Yes.
