Summary

Two of the most acclaimed comics creators of their generation--writer Jeff Lemire and artist Jock--together for the first time in this 10-part science fiction saga set in a brutal world like no other!

Season Two begins! The final 6 issues of the 10-part science fiction adventure story set in a brutal world like no other starts here!

Milliken and Mae have never left The Trench--it's all they've ever known。 They were born in The Trench, and they'll die there, just like all their people do。 The two girls, eight and eleven, are a part of The Trenchfolk, a sprawling settlement of people living inside the massive ice walls of a vast, seemingly endless frozen trench carved into the surface of an otherwise icy wasteland。 The Trenchfolk survive in this hostile world by following The Three Testaments of The Trench--golden rules repeated like a mantra from birth to death。。。

1。 YOU MUST NEVER LEAVE THE TRENCH。
2。 THE TRENCH PROVIDES。
3。 THE TRENCH IS ENDLESS。

Milli and Mae don't really know how their people came to live here。 No one does, not even their wise and gentle Father。 On Milliken's twelfth birthday, their father takes the two girls on an overnight skate down the trench--a coming-of-age ritual to teach them how to fish the frozen river, how to hunt the wild Trenchdogs that wander its frigid banks, and how to give proper thanks to their frozen Gods--The Colden Ones。 It's the trip of a lifetime until the girls push beyond the borders of their humble land and awaken the Trench's deadly defender。。。The Snowman! What follows next is an action-packed story of survival, loss and redemption。

Some thoughts。1。 The series ends with this book。 That feels sudden。2。 Why it feels sudden, is because the pacing between this volume and the first, feels all wrong。3。 This is certainly the better volume of the two。 A lot more actually happens, so much in fact, that it all feels rushed。 New characters and locations don't get the room to breathe。4。 There are flashbacks that I didn't immediately recognise as flashbacks, although I did like that there was some narrative pairing between what happened Some thoughts。1。 The series ends with this book。 That feels sudden。2。 Why it feels sudden, is because the pacing between this volume and the first, feels all wrong。3。 This is certainly the better volume of the two。 A lot more actually happens, so much in fact, that it all feels rushed。 New characters and locations don't get the room to breathe。4。 There are flashbacks that I didn't immediately recognise as flashbacks, although I did like that there was some narrative pairing between what happened earlier, and what the kids were experiencing now。5。 The two main characters, the kids, get stuck in a whiny loop。 I don't want to go on/you have to/I want to go back/we can't go back。。 and so on。 It's realistic, perhaps, but it also gets old。6。 This volume being better, makes me look back more negatively on vol 1。 It feels like vol 1 could've been handled in the space of 1 or 2 issues, leaving more space for the rest of the story。 It isn't as if there is a lot of characterisation or worldbuilding in vol 1。7。 I quite like Jock's art, and there are a few more non-white locations, but there's still a lot of visually uninteresting whiteness。8。 This Dark Horse collection includes some sketches from Lemire himself - I'm not a huge fan of his own work, but it might appeal to you。 He also goes into the creation of this story, which has been surprisingly long in the making。 I say surprisingly, because in the end the ideas in this series aren't all that interesting。(Thanks to Dark Horse Books for providing me with an ARC through Edelweiss) 。。。more

Ok, i just have the feeling tha Jeff and Jock was in a bit of a rush to see the end of this (if it really is the ending)。 The story was cool。 Your regular sci-fi, where the place where Mae Mae and Milli are kot what you think, but it really lacks development。 The people of The Keep, for an exemple。 Just a generic bunch of people that just not believes what The Trench guys preach。It's a nice iniciative for the authors and for Comixology to bring this digitally, but i believe that you'll find some Ok, i just have the feeling tha Jeff and Jock was in a bit of a rush to see the end of this (if it really is the ending)。 The story was cool。 Your regular sci-fi, where the place where Mae Mae and Milli are kot what you think, but it really lacks development。 The people of The Keep, for an exemple。 Just a generic bunch of people that just not believes what The Trench guys preach。It's a nice iniciative for the authors and for Comixology to bring this digitally, but i believe that you'll find something better than this on their library, as Afterlife by Chip Zdarsky and Lost on Planet Earth by Magdalene Visagio。 Give it a try! 。。。more

quick read and enjoyable。 Glad he did not push for season 3 as it was not needed。

Snow Angels season two collects the final five issues of this ten part story as it continues to follow the fate of Milliken and Mae。 Season one was interesting if not ground breaking, it started slowly but built up to what promised to a interesting conclusion。 There was enough in it to keep you engaged - just。 Sadly season two doesn’t deliver。 For the most part it’s more of the same。 The claustrophobic frozen wasteland and the simplistic, rough rugged style of the artwork are pluses。 On the nega Snow Angels season two collects the final five issues of this ten part story as it continues to follow the fate of Milliken and Mae。 Season one was interesting if not ground breaking, it started slowly but built up to what promised to a interesting conclusion。 There was enough in it to keep you engaged - just。 Sadly season two doesn’t deliver。 For the most part it’s more of the same。 The claustrophobic frozen wasteland and the simplistic, rough rugged style of the artwork are pluses。 On the negative is the story, or the lack of it。 There is nothing here of any substance at all。 What there is could have been told in half the number of issues。 Very disappointing。 。。。more

I dunno what's up here, the first season was average, but showed promise。 This season is even more treading of familiar water than the first season, and as a very big Jeff Lemire fan, this feels very half-assed and I wouldn't be surprised if this was something Lemire wrote in a weekend without much in the way of revisions or development to meet a deadline。 Odd it took me so long to finish it, as it's something that could be read in 30 minutes or less in one sitting, but this thing just failed to I dunno what's up here, the first season was average, but showed promise。 This season is even more treading of familiar water than the first season, and as a very big Jeff Lemire fan, this feels very half-assed and I wouldn't be surprised if this was something Lemire wrote in a weekend without much in the way of revisions or development to meet a deadline。 Odd it took me so long to finish it, as it's something that could be read in 30 minutes or less in one sitting, but this thing just failed to keep my interest every 10-15 pages。 Even Jock's artwork looks terribly rushed。 Only Lemire and Jock completionists need apply here。 。。。more
