The Stand Vol. 2: American Nightmares by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
4.0
We are really rolling now. Thus far we have met all the titular characters" Stu, Harold, The Dark Man, Mother Abigail and more. Each character is finding their place in this narrative.
How is it going to play out?
From the drama and dialog, we know that some of the characters, namely Nadine and Harold are a little broken, a little off. They don't feel the comfort that they should in the presence of Mother Abigail. They feel fear, anxiety, and anger.
As it follows the story of the novel The Stand very closely, we are getting set up in Boulder. Getting rid of bodies, counting heads, and getting the power-up. I enjoyed the scene building here, it is drawn and written tension. We know something is going to happen, we just don't know what.
And, the dark man is always there like a toothache or a sore. Slowly festering in the minds of the townsfolk.
An excellent second chapter of this fantastic story.
