review:
'Orphans Vol. 2: Lies' by Roberto Recchioni with art by Emiliano Mammucari continues the story of a world that is changed and the children brutally trained to defend it.

As in the first volume, the stories move back and forth in time, showing the characters as children then as grown adults dealing with the emotional trauma they've lived with. This time around, we learn more about the quieter members, Sam and Ringo. Both are loners, and we get good flashbacks from them. There is also plenty of combat and alien fighting along the way.

This collects the next three issues, but these issues are over 100 pages long, so there is a lot of art and story. There is also a nice collection of extras with lots of sketches and character formation background.

I really liked the first volume, and this one feels even stronger. It's a good story with solid art, and I look forward to finding out where this story goes.

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