I can't believe I didn't notice that this was volume two. It didn't take me long to figure out what was happening, so even though I was obviously coming into a story in progress, I thought that was just how Gillen chose to begin. Now that I already know what happened in volume one, I feel like it's not too big a disaster; I'll be able to go back and read it, fill in the gaps, and I definitely don't feel like anything's ruined. I also can't wait to read volume three. It's a fantastic premise, brilliantly executed. I love the way the characters are designed visually, especially Laura (who apparently got a haircut since volume one, and it is amazing). Yet another comic that should have significant appeal to fans of Saga.
