Rapture #2

by Taki Soma and Michael Avon Oeming

I'm enjoying this new title, but I do find it to be kind of strange. Ostensibly, it's a love story about two people trying to find each other after a not-so natural disaster. Thing is, there are cannibals around, and Evelyn has just been given some powerful spear from some Spectre analogue. Her newfound powers are creating some fame for her, as people are happy to see a 'champion' has returned.

Meanwhile, Gil has run afoul of some bratty kid who also has a powerful spear. And there's some military guy making deals with the cannibals.

In other words, the second issue is still setting up a lot of the premise of the series, and it does have me intrigued. I usually find Oeming's art to be enjoyable, and this series is no different in that.

Oeming and Soma are able to hold a story that could easily spin off the rails together very nicely.
