The reading equivalent of riding a junky wooden roller coaster. The plot jerks you around with no care for the craft of storytelling.

I am very much appreciating the complications of this gravity-less world, and my only complaint about this issue is that I wasn't ready for it to end and to wait another month for the next installment!

There was so much world-building in this but like it wasn't bad. Skyward #2 introduces us to "The Streets" which is ground-level Chicago where magnetized mboots allow rich people to live a semi-normal life again.
Willa refers to The Steets as a city in denial and shows a good cultural point. Also there's giant ass bugs and I hate it so much.
Okay this was half-assed but like reviewing comics is hard, all I can say is it was good and I enjoyed the story.

Willa's enthusiasm for the low-g life is what really makes this comic. Can't wait for more!

But... If they have all those magnetic shoes and clothes (and apparently everything since their life's the same as before), why was there so many people killed during G-day? All those people's attitude makes it quite clear they've never lived in low-G, so they obviously managed to stay on the ground on that fateful day. And even if it were just a selected few who could afford the big bad's technology, surely Nathan would have known about this and should have made sure his family was equipped. It doesn't make sense that he just let his wife go outside and get killed tbh. And it doesn't make sense that people just roll with it, despite the technology to cancel that effect being right there to use.
Don't get me wrong, I really like this story and am looking forward to reading the next issues. But unless it's explained later on, that's a massive plothole.

3.5 stars. Not as good as the first one. The world building is cool but the characterization is eh. Gonna keep going.
