After reading this next part in the series covering issues 11-23, I can confidently rank this book a bit higher than the first one. The story continued to progress in interesting ways, while also wrapping up a couple of the storylines/characters I disliked from the first part. I found that the main characters, especially Yorick, had a bit of character development and were less annoying or unlikable in their dialogue and actions. Although some of the ways that it happened, namely the entire sequence between Yorick and agent 711, were a bit freaky and overly graphic, I feel that it still in a way fit into the tone of the story and the overarching high stakes sci-fi comic genre that this falls under. My two fave characters agent 355 and Dr. Allison also had some beginnings of their own development, so I'm eager to continue the series and see their full backstories and where they end up.
