Instantly better than the first volume, in part due to fleshing out the characters a bit more. Whilst the art still isn't great there seems to be a lot less visual noise littering the pages in this one and in some places the panel beats are used to much greater dramatic effect. There's enough curiosity about what is actually going on that if I owned volume 3 I would immediately continue. Sadly, I haven't enjoyed it enough to want to buy any more, so unless someone lends them to me I will never find out. Either way is fine by me.
