For the second issue, which is really mostly flashbacks structured around one of the character’s letter from her future self and talking heads scenes, Fialkov goes really dark. The flashback is darker than the present day stuff, but the present day stuff has these moments of intense, unexpected violence.
He even takes it further, bringing the three time periods (the letter, written in the future, talking about the past, being read in the present) all together for a huge emotional finale. What’s strange is how well he writes the two female characters, but not so much with the guys. They’re effective–those intense violent outbursts–but they don’t have any depth.
The protagonist of this issue, even with her future self narrating, manages to surprise with depth, but so does the other girl in the cast.
Infurnari continues to be well-suited for the art. It’s all quiet, no flash.
