A review by frickative
Alias, Vol. 2: Come Home by Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Gaydos, Mark Bagley

3.0

I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the first volume, but as the shorter of the two, there's less to sink your teeth into. I'm always a sucker for a small-town crime story, which Jessica here enters to locate a missing girl, but the stakes never reach the same heights as in the first volume. Bendis does an excellent job with her characterisation, enriching and elaborating with every page, and the art-work remains gorgeous. Perhaps I'm partly at fault for tearing through it so quickly, but it certainly hasn't put me off diving straight into volume three.
