Nothing too new introduced in this volume but I’m loving the deeper exploration of different pairings. Another great volume!

It took me a while to get my hands on it, but I thoroughly enjoyed Volume 2!  The cast of characters introduced in these issues are just as captivating as the ones we met in Volume 1. 

Spoiler

I'm really digging the whole "Angela Bassett in Waiting to Exhale" vibe that Gwendolyn has going on.

  I'm also really impressed by the artwork in this volume - the coloring is absolutely gorgeous.  Maybe it's because I had such a big gap between Volume 1 and 2, but I don't remember being this enamored by the artwork in Volume 1.  It was great, but the artwork in Volume 2 seems to be at another level.

I'm looking forward to starting Volume 3 hopefully soon, where I'll continue to wonder if Moonfall's language is based on Italian.

We get some great background information in this one, showing how Alana and Marko met. It not only helps in building the characters, but it also helps with building the world as well. Meeting Marko's parents also helps us to gain a little bit more background into his character.

I feel like Vaughan knows how to pace out comics really well, and Staples just creates beautiful art. The two of them together is just magic!

The characters! They are part of what make this series so captivating. Personally, I love that Alana and Marko fall in love over a book. The power is stories even relates these two races that are supposed to hate each other. And the art is magnificent. Everything about this series is just amazing.
