    Unwritten #2

    I'm liking the art a bit more this issue. Gross's detailed backgrounds are definitely something that sets this book apart. Shimizu's cover is excellent again, though I don't really see how it related to comic.

    This issue starts off with another great Tommy Taylor scene, complete with Harry Potter references. After that, Tom Taylor is confronted with the new messiah-like status he has as a result of the previous issue. There are more literary references to be found, including Dickens and Doyle, and more Watchmenesque news reports to help move the story along. I started seeing some weird stuff happening this issue, making me start to question what's real and what's not. There's a weird conspiracy going on in the background, and I'm looking forward to seeing more that. Tom Taylor is reminding me a lot of Nathan Drake from the Uncharted games, if Drake was an expert in literary geography instead of a treasure hunter. Lizzie is great too, I hope we see more of her to come.
