review:

'Amelia Cole and the Enemy Unleashed' is the second Amelia Cole volume I've read, but it's not the second volume in the series. I liked it, but I think I liked the first volume more.



We start with Omega Company fighting in a realm full of huge monsters. They are weakening as they fight, so you know this isn't going to end well. Meanwhile, in Amelia's world, things aren't going so well either. Amelia has hidden a bunch of her friends in her house and is trying to keep them from getting arrested. Amelia has her own trouble with The Council. The two stories come together with the return of Hector, just in time for a bit of a cliffhanger ending.



Amelia is still a fun character, but she seems to have lost some of her sense of wonder. Perhaps because the story is more serious or she is more familiar. I'm not sure which. And she's also a little too invulnerable. Everyone around her is getting beat, even her golem Lenny, but it doesn't seem to hit her at all. There are some short backup stories and art jams included in the back of the book and an interview with the creators. I hope this is just a middle book story arc, and the book gets back to things I liked so much in the first volume.



I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, IDW Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
