Majorly disappointed from not doing proper research. But I'll sell it because the all-out raunchiness and likeness of Druuna sell well.

I expected a Druuna story -in her realm- but instead get a hardcore ->XXX<- sex art book with assorted vintage erotica passages -that don't match what's going on next to them- and a sixteen page "Object of pleasure" comic story with Druuna- but only being sexually manipulated by an unseen guy and the stunt-cock he's arranged for her. I guess there was some sort of demand for that sort of shameless porn story with her...

Her breasts seem even bigger than I remember. C'mon Pao, they're hulking. He couldn't leave them at extra large and made her look bad to me.

Druuna X 2 falls neatly in between Druuna X and The Sweet Smell of Woman. It's yet another Serpieri sketch book of hardcore scenes featuring his iconic heroine Druuna. We get a mix in this of both Druuna's lesbian and heterosexual encounters, all rendered with stunning detail. Normally all his women look the same, so its actually refreshing to have some variation in facial features and positions here, although his obsession with the female bottom is still very much in evidence. The art is accompanied by snippets of erotic poetry throughout the ages.

If you like erotic art this makes a wonderful addition. However it's very much Druuna out of context - so there's no sci-fi or weird body horror - It's not nearly fantastical enough for my taste. Also unlike Druuna X there's no insight into the mind of the artist or art techniques. Again being a female reader I'm probably slightly biased against this which does little more than objectify women. Although Druuna is clearly loving every minute and revels in her sexual power. For me personally though, I need more than Druuna's obvious assets and wanted more sketches of the rest of the druunaverse.

In this volume you see Druuna caught with different men in the act. The poses are quite revealing. She loves giving head and being drawn from behind. A true master at work. Really recommended!
