I had some qualms going into volume two of Injection because of the problems I had with volume one. Unfortunately, I had some of the same issues with this one.

The handling of the plot in this series thus far is not my favorite thing. It is not told in a linear fashion - I don't have a problem with flashbacks in stories, but many didn't seem to have a point that was relevant to the greater story. This is also the kind of story that leaves a lot unexplained until you read further.

I did think these issues were not quite as bad in volume two as in volume one, however. There was also some much needed character development in; I'm glad I'm getting to know these characters more - maybe even getting fond of them? I am also still a big fan of the concept of a sentient technology wreaking various kinds of havoc around the world. This concept was blended with mythology in volume one, which I particularly enjoyed, yet volume two lacked this. I definitely hope the mythology is brought back! ( )

Injection #2 leans more into humor. It mainly follows an astute logician and detective for hire, Vivek, who has broad experience and unique skills like being able to precisely identify human meat and organs—prepared in a variety of circumstances—based off of taste alone.

There was this one memorable scene, in which a teacher seduces a younger Vivek. On the next page it shows Vivek screwing a bearded red head, in threesomes, trying sodomy over a pentagram, among other creative situations. While he engages in all those acts, he casually explains that while technically the teacher seducing him was sexual assault, she queried for consent at every step and then goes on to rant about feelings and how it's conductive to logical thinking and useful for the detective. Then it cuts to Vivek and a male coworker lying in bed, when they receive a phone call from their other two female coworkers—lying in bed together.

It's funny because Vivek is always portrayed like Sherlock Homes—twenty steps ahead, all serious, no business. I never thought of him and his coworkers (all with unique personalities) in that way. ( )

4,5 stars

so much fun. ( )

Finally get my hands on vol. 2 and finished it in one run. Warren definitely takes the story to an exciting place and can't wait to see how it will continue. Injection is definitely a must-read. With it's story, characters, dialogues and commentaries about the Now, it already made itself a classic in my eyes. ( )
