Yeah... Didn't like this one much, the turn of events was disappointing and I really didn't like most of the second part, I would say the end was interesting and unexpected but the way the story was told could have been better in my opinion. The art is still great (thou different from the first part).
It's like a good version of Waterworld, very much different from the first 5 issues which read more like hard science fiction, this is more of an aquatic adventure story with SF elements.
