Earthdivers, Vol. 2: Ice Age

2024

Thanks to IDW and NetGalley for the eARC. EARTHDIVERS VOL 2 is the second story arc for Stephen Graham Jones' speculative comic series. Following Tawny's journey to the ice age, I found this storyline a lot more enigmatic than the prior volume. Readers of SGJ likely know his prose is often as difficult as it is elegant, but I found the transition from volume 1 to 2 very confusing. I was initially unsure what was going on and it connected to earlier issues, despite having read volume one pretty recently. Overall I struggled to connect with Tawny and her plot line, and found this arc less compelling than the first. The art is beautiful and I think it's worth reading for fans of the series, but it felt like a step down to me.
