Goodreads Synopsis:
The mind-bending adventure of Essentials continues in volume two.
ESSENTIALS VOL. 2 continues the mind-bending journey of Harris Pax, a mathematician who predicted the end of the world but couldn’t prevent it. Now to save humanity, he must return to the underground bunker where madness began, but not without a fight. Alongside unlikely sidekicks—from walking corpses to toy robots—Harris weaves through fractured realities of creatures, angels, and monsters to restore the world he once knew. But will it be enough to defeat Snuggles once and for all?
Review:
This story continues Harris’s journey to save what’s left of humanity after the world ended. The survivors have created their own realities which they’re living in. Harris and his friend Buttons must travel through these imagined realities to save the humans inside. However, they don’t always want to be saved. This is a thought provoking graphic novel about what’s reality and the power of imagination.
Essentials, Vol. 2 is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel!
