Middlewest, Book Two

I continue to have very mixed feelings about this series. The art has really grown on me - especially the emotive qualities that the small facial gestures of the fox are able to express - and it is very evocative of a future rural fantasyscape that's directly based in our current reality. The story is interesting; the framing of trauma and violence as an illness and abuse as all-consuming of not just the abuser and their victim(s) but also the community is a very interesting and real, valid posit. I'm waiting for Book 3 to reassess on the whole from issue 1.
