REVIEW: 'Snow Angels: Season Two' #2 by Jeff Lemire and Jock

SNOW ANGELS: SEASON TWO #2

Writer: Jeff Lemire

Artist: Jock

Letters: Steve Wands

Publisher: ComiXology Originals

Release Date: July 21, 2021

Season Two begins! The final 6 issues of the 10-part science fiction adventure story set in a brutal world like no other starts here!

Score:

★★★★☆ (4/5)

QUICK REVIEW: The second arc of 'Snow Angels' from Jeff Lemire and Jock has ramped up the action as Milli and Mae find a robotic tech suit they've managed to control and defend themselves against an unknown faction of humans living beyond the trench. They're captured and taken in. They find people with philosophical differences, some of them radical, from the trench folk they've known all their lives. As incredulous as Milli might be with what the people of The Keep believe they're still very much in danger. The threat of the Snowman still looms but now the sisters are faced with a human threat. Lemire has escalated the danger and accelerated the pace of the sci-fi thriller while opening the world further. It's really come a long way from the quiet solitary journey of the girls and their father as they escaped the carnage of the village, running along the trench with the Ice Terminator hot on their trail. Jock continues to do incredible work with character designs but more so with recreating a frozen landscape that looks and acts like snow. It's quite remarkable the way snow moves, especially during a firefight. 

'Snow Angels: Season Two' keeps getting better with every issue. The story gets bigger and fraught with more antagonists and constant danger. It's a fascinating tribal war between man versus machine, man versus man. This is a must-buy series.

For longer than they can remember, these child vampires have lived a life of eternal wonder amongst the ruins of humanity.

Score: ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) There are certain comic book creators whose books I'll pick up without hesitation. One of those creators is Jeff Lemire. He instills confidence knowing that his stories will be thoughtful and engaging. You add a talented artist like Dustin Nguyen on another collaborative effort and well, 'Little Monsters,' is a must-buy. I know, shocking.   They team up again with an intriguing post-apocalyptic vampire tale featuring "the last children on Earth" who've been left to their own devices among the ruin...
