Rating: 4/5
Volume two digs into the characters of this series. The zombie-esque quality of the Revived remains an important point throughout the book. Yet, the focus is more on the relationships between the different characters. Where volume one introduced the setting and the main themes, volume two takes a shift to the people involved and why the reader should care about them.
That means the book progresses at a slower pace, but it never feels bogged down. The situation becomes more complex with people trying to get into the quarantine zone, some people trying to get out, and a few getting into trafficking body parts. This section of the story is tied together wonderfully, although it isn't beat you over the head obvious while reading it. My favorite characters to follow are the police officers because there is just so much on their plates at this point.
The art is great once again. The revival aspect lets the creators do some messed up stuff to their characters, which provides for some great illustrations. There isn't anything here that feels out of place from the first volume either. I can't wait to see where they take this story.
