As dad puts the mad in mutual assured destruction, his kids must have found an old Charlton Peacemaker comic book in the ruins of their broken world because now they love peace so much they're willing to fight for it.

The conclusion gets too mired in cliches and all the slam-bang action can't carry me past it -- though it does put in a tremendous effort. ( )

The overall story idea is great, clans at war with each other, in some other space, time and place, the history of their people lost to time and pretty much unknown to all who currently live.

Unfortunately, I was left unsatisfied mostly, by the holes in the story. What exactly was Shiloh, what made him, how did he get there? So many questions were left unanswered. Sure the conflict between the parents was settled in a way, but so much of the story just wasn’t answered. We were given bits of stuff but never had it fulfilled.

The art was gorgeous which was a huge draw for me, I just wish there was more depth to the story. It skimmed the surface of what had potential to be really interesting but alas it ended too soon. ( )

The visual design and world building continues to impress in this tale of warring clans on a fractured world. There are some interesting new characters introduced and some smart ideas in this arc, but it lacks some of the emotional resonance that made the first volume such an engaging read. ( )
