Briggs Land volume 1 really caught me off guard. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Here comes volume 2, and you never know if a series can live up to the surprise of the first one. I'm happy to report this one does!

So this is three different stories. First one we get a nice tense 3 issue arc about two people, girlfriend and boyfriend, camping in the forest but stumble upon Briggs land. This becomes a intense debate on what to do, free or kill them, all while the US Government tries to make a stand against this independent land. Then we have a nice little one shot of a girl worrying if she should have a kid or not and the debate of who these people are on the land. Then the last two parts are warfare within, betrayal for some, and a big OH SHIT moment to top it off.

Good: Loved all three stories to be honest. Each held a different feel, a different weight, and tough choices. You know good storytelling when can't relate to these alt-right nazi like racist fucks but somehow they are engaging none the less. The dialog, storyline, everything works with the pacing to make this as exciting if not MORE so than volume 1.

Bad: Some of the art, the one shot really, didn't work well. Hard to tell what was happening.

Overall Briggs Land is as strong as ever. When Brian Wood writes good he's one of my favorites. This is easily a 5 out of 5 for me. I NEED MORE!!!
