Continues in the action-packed vein the first issue ended on. Perhaps for some the action isn't gory enough, but those creatures sure are terrifying and the fear for major characters is palpable. Some actions scenes do happen out of sight, leaving the reader to imagine what happened, but the focus here isn't just on pure action. The focus is on story, character, and themes.
A major theme that gets developed this time around, unsurprisingly, is religious zealotry. A monk's call to burn a pagan woman because of her beliefs reflects our own times of fear and bigotry. Yet, the dialogue on that end does tend towards the cliche. Issue two repeats a cliched phrase from issue one: "You will pay for that," with the emphasis on "pay." So, yes, the writing could improve on some ends. But in terms of world-building, story, pacing, and character, it excels.
