Eased off the silent form
In comparison to the first issue, the stories here fall off somewhat. The first story, dealing with Aurora, has a sense of being serialized even though there is not much indication that it will be. The story is all right, though more of just a story in a science fiction setting, as it does not have a real twist of any kind to it. The second story is told without words, which can be seen in a sense to add to the tension, but then the tension is never built up very effectively as a man searches a lifeless space ship. The final story is the most interesting, but still also fails to really go anywhere concrete. In the end it doesn't hold up to the first issue (also considering the somewhat cult status of the first issue's cover is not repeated here.)
