You have no real family, you aren't alive, you do understand that don't you?

Well i am really glad books survived humans living in space, let alone physical books!
I am delighted!
Another issue from last story, was the stuttering speech of A.I computers, i had one of those Neil De Grasse Tyson moments"(If there are Aliens and they can't even land on earth, i don't want to meet them" i say "if we go to the far future and colonize planets, and we can't make A.I computers with good connection that they don't have to stutter, i don't want to meet that future version of us!"
Driller really really hate stupid humans man.
Do you guys remember that old comics writing style, or rather pacing style, where we had to wait 10s of issues or a hundred issue just to get to the origin of the character, they really really loved them to appear mysterious and interesting, because once everything is out there, we realize how fucking shallow they are, Jeff gave us the origin of Tim, in the very second issue, and i loved it.
Humans treating that child robot as one of their family is really really nice, but there is a huge issue, with the making of the robot, a robot you have to harshly explain to that he is not alive that he has no family, is really a fucked up idea, if they think they are alive, if they are empaths who are capable of intricate emotions, and can assimilate themselves to our needs through their empathy, they are better humans than most humans alive.
Driller really really hate humans man.

while still the beautiful water colors i loved from the first issue, their composition is more cluttered and hard to read. the story, however, really lifts off. it's exciting, and scary, and leaves you on a cliffhanger. can't wait for the next issue. how talented is jeff lemire? he's on everything i'm enjoying these days.

Issue 2 is even better that 1. We find out the connection between Dr Quon and Tim-21 and a little back story about Tim-21. Loved it.

Jesus- this is so upsetting. I am precisely the kind of sad I feared I would be.

Still getting into world building and character introduction. I still like the coloring quite a lot, too.
