Honestly, I don't really have too many new thoughts from the first volume to this one. The way the plot is developing continues to be interesting, the characters are well-drawn and distinct, and it's entertaining as hell.

One thing I forgot to mention in my review of the first volume is how much I love the art style. It's not the cutesy style that tends to go along with contemporary graphic novels, but it's also not the super gritty, can't-make-anything-out style that tends to go with comics like The Walking Dead. I don't really know how to describe it other than somewhere in between both of them, and I think Fiona Staples knocked it out of the park.

Now, onto a negative. I know, we're all shocked, but this is the one thing that up until this point stops me from giving this series a five-star. I really like the Alana and Marko storyline, as well as The Will storyline, but I find IV's storyline pretty boring. A lot of the time it comes off as a less interesting version of The Will's storyline and it means that I'm less engaged whenever IV's on page.

Other than that, this is still really good.
