A strong follow up to the first issue. Dustin Weaver continues the story of the "Amnia Cycle" with his mashup form of taking the best from Moebius and Juan Gimenez. Those are lofty goals for any cartoonist, and while Weaver isn't on the same level as those sci-fi masters, I can't say I'm not impressed by how great his compositions and intricate linework is.

The main feature is a story co-written by D.J. Bryant called "An Empty Shell in the Ocean". I admit it doesn't make much sense, but it was still a somewhat fun read. The artwork in this story is just as good as the other story, but Weaver shows dynamic range with a change in style and use of mixed media. Very impressive issue all around.

Cuando Weaver le dedica tiempo sus páginas son super inmersivas. Me interesa muchísimo esos mundos que construye visualmente, pero me interesa cero lo que me cuenta en ellos. No entro, sencillamente. De hecho incluso el guión me echa para afuera. Reboto.
Creo que me bajo de Paklis, os deseo mucha suerte a los que sigáis y espero que os flipe. A mi me hubiera encantado. Cuando me entren ganas de Weaver me leeré en bucle su S.H.I.E.L.D.

Strange stuff. I appreciate the different styles attempted. Reminds me of the Negative Burn anthology from about 20 years ago.
