Story continues with Ash trying to prevent Yotun from bringing down the city down to its knees. What starts as a raid on a party of wealthy people of the city soon deteriorates into waves of violence where Yotun and his androids begin a full war against the city, destroying not only law enforcement but also main city infrastructure [and indirectly civilians].

Soon our heroine will find herself fighting to save the people she loves because zealots like Yotun dont ever stop, they are the truth and he holds his people to be future god-like rulers of the world commanding the humans, and who ever stands in their way gets blown away. So when he finds out about Ash's lover he decides to stop Ash in a most brutal way.

Very interesting story but, as is usually the case with chapters in the middle of the storyline, it leaves the reader wanting more and it ends on a cliffhanger for which I hope they deliver the follow up book very, very soon :)

Art as always is good. So far this story-line together with the arc about beginnings of blade-runners is managing to keep recognizable and consistent level of quality of art. Very noir, very dystopian, artists have an eye for shots and angles that make the books very alive and cinematic like.

Recommended.

" 'How’d you get in here?'
'Violently.' "

Honestly made me snort

They also have diaper tanks to heal in like Star Wars. I approve. I think my brain needs to go in a diaper tank some days. No, most days.

Looks like this will be another solid run. You’d think this kind of attempted revolution would have been mentioned in the historical timeline of things, but maybe they just cover it up after, or something? Still love the art, interesting stakes, still bombastic and not cerebral, but fun, which fits the format. I probably like that first run more so far, but it’s a pleasure to back in the world, rendered like this.
