Briggs Land Volume 2: Lone Wolves by Brian Wood
4.0
I am surprised to still be enjoying this series about a separatist group living in northern New York. I don't particularly like any of the characters but I'm enjoying that Wood is able to write about these morally gray characters in such a way that I don't find them repulsive, nor am I ever rooting for them. If the next volume featured them all being gunned down by the American government, I'd think it was a fitting ending. Yet, I'm still curious what will happen to this family that is trying to distance themselves from the former patriarch's ties to racist hate groups, and a drug running business that the new matriarch wants eliminated from their community.
The only thing keeping this from being a five star book is that two of the issues have guest artists, and they're just not anywhere near the same quality as [a:Mack Chater|5403453|Mack Chater|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]'s.
