Angelic #2 - "Heirs and Graces, Part 2"

[laughing_tree]

Two opposing tribes, both representing wildly different versions of a faith-based society. One of them repressive, dogmatic, controlling, the other bloated, imperialistic and arrogant. Qora and her companion (about whom I’m saying nothing here!) are caught in the middle, trying to find a third way. A lot of important, timely stuff being said, basically. But if you’re an 8 year old reading this book you’re probably not going to detect much of the allegorical stuff, focusing instead on the main event: a story about two young dreamers running away from sucky homes to lean cool stuff about themselves and their world. -- Si Spurrier

I have to say, it's so nice to see such wonderfully fantastical designs. With how inhuman everything is, it truly feels like a strange and alien world. It's one of the great things about comics, that the only limits are the imagination, so writers can create these amazing scenes which even in a film would be hard to pull off.

I will say that some of the writing seems a bit off. Mostly in regards to the robot-walruses, who just sound very informal for a story in this world with these themes. But I guess they're the comic relief? So it sort of makes sense that they wouldn't talk in thees and thous!

They're manatees so they wouldn't want to do a lot of unnecessary actions or words. They like to just relax and eat. They're one of the chillest species of the animal world.
