The art by Giovanni Timpano is again superb but as far as the story goes I thought it was a bit of a mixed bag. This volume features a much wider canvas than the noirish murder mystery of the first volume. Whereas I liked the idea of trying to expand the scope of the story, both temporarily by looking at the history of what happened after sunlight became deadly, and also spatially by expanding the narrative beyond the confines of New York, I felt the execution was perhaps a bit bland. In the rush of events the new characters and settings did not feel well developed. I'll still be looking forward to the next installment as it is clear that things are building up to a major reveal.
