Me again! So, uh... I liked it better than part one! This was far more focused, whereas part one felt all over the place and it really didn't need to be. I still have issues, though.
For one thing, while I get the joke that MC is just gonna be oblivious the entire time, I still don't get an absurdist vibe from the art. Buuuut, we already talked about that. I won't rehash my previous complaints. For now.
My only other issue was the ending. Don't get me wrong, ending on establishing the end goal is a great conclusion! But the paneling felt weird. You see, I think you have a strong understanding of when to use more analog panels (you know, square) for mundane scenes vs more ridged and slanted panels for scenes with action and tension. That's all well and good. But the last page is where it feels off. Not because of the slants; I think it works for a scene to tell the audience where we're headed. My issue is with the order in which the panels are placed. I feel like we should end on the larger panel. The composition on the last one is nice and all, but the size of it left me thinking there was gonna be another page. In fact, I was confused when there wasn't one. Two smalls then one big; that's how I think it should've been set.
Anyhoo, still not in love with this story, but this part had me feeling less cynical. And, even if its not my cup of tea, I think its cute.
