This is it. A freaking MASTERPIECE of a volume. I forced myself not to read through it so quick because I didn't want it to end.

The Pike siblings are a interesting bunch. All very very different from each other. And we seen them as adults. Now let's go back. To the time before the youngest of the group had died. Tommy is a tragic character because he's so in the middle of life as a teenager. Dealing with shit like fitting in, being alone, feeling lost, and then on top of that the major headaches he gets. Then when his brothers/sisters problems are also presented in a really fasnating and non-cliche way, we get some of the best family drama ever.

Good: Usually not a huge fan of Lemire's art but it works great here. The writing is masterful, filled with heart and emotional bits that will make you smile, laugh, and cry. The dialog is nothing short of perfection, really giving a sense of reality to it all. The ending is both sad and intriguing.

Bad: Nothing.

This is Jeff at the top of his game. I will re-read this a few times in my life probably. While volume 1 was great, volume 2 is a masterpiece. Thank you Lemire. 5 out of 5.
