In the second volume of Nemesis the warlock, Torquemada the Villain strives to get back into power as Nemesis tries to find his son. Amazing art and originality make this volume an engaging read.

A number of excellent artists visualise Nemesis and Torquemada in their own styles, including two photo stories. Pat Mills' scripts become steadily more polemical: sadly, 30+ years later, they could have been drawn from the current political climate...

In a way weirder than Volume 1, the main story proceeds to strangenesses. Thoth slowly grows up while he seeks ways to hurt Torquemada through history itself.
I really enjoyed Bryan Talbot's art in Books V and VI, but John Hickleton's artwork in VII didn't really appeal to me. Torquemadas with their tongues out all the time, the oddly organic look of Nemesis instead of the usual angular look... All too messy in my opinion. I got used to it, but... meh, not the same. Still, the story was damn interesting.
In addition to the three Books there were some extras such as the two Choose Your Adventure -style games. In the first one you played as Torquemada and in the second one as Nemesis. I tried them both just for the fun of it a couple of times but didn't conquer either.
