"Season Two" of Chip Zdarsky's The All-Nighter picks up not long after the first volume, with everyone trying to reckon with the disappearance of Ian at the end of the volume. We see a bit more of the "found family" aspect in this volume, even if it fragments a bit toward the end, and we also see a bit more development of Cynthia as a character.
And of course, come the end of the book there are some preeeetty big consequences for Alex's actions, and everyone's thrown into even worse turmoil.
I haven't said much about the art so far. It doesn't bowl me over but it works, characters and events are pretty clear and easy to follow.
Overall, the middle volume is okay, and the ending sets things up for an explosive finale.
