REVIEW: Ava's Demon, Book 2: Aftermath (graphic novel) by Michelle Fus

Ava's Demon is science fiction. I bought my copy of this volume new.

Review:

At the end of the previous volume Ava (or at least the being inhabiting her) massacred a bunch of Titan followers. In this volume, Ava freaks out when she realizes it wasn't all just a dream and really happened. But the biggest thing that seems to bug her isn't so much all the death, but rather the fact that it makes other people dislike/fear her. 

Gil, a devoted Titan follower, is now a wanted criminal. Readers finally learn more about where Odin comes from, more character relationship info is unveiled, etc.

This wasn't bad, and I'm still somewhat interested in seeing where this will go, but I'm not sure I want to put in the effort to keep following along with this series. Each volume just seems to add to the questions I have about everything that's going on, and it doesn't help that I dislike most of the characters.

I thought Odin was a little more on top of things, but it turns out that he's got his own issues and is barely noticed by his more powerful, depressed geeky trash older brother. And tonally, things were just kind of weird. It looks like we're now supposed to view Ava as a cute crybaby?

Maybe one day I'll pick this series up again - I really do like the artwork, and there are intriguing aspects to the story - but for now I'll just move on.
