On their way to find supplies, Amelia and Eleanor are chased by the terrifying, giant bug-like Shriekers, and Eleanor has an encounter with someone from her past as the two survivors search for sanctuary.

I was really impressed with the first issue of Amelia Sky, and I was equally enthralled over the course of issue 2, which tells a tense, scary and heartbreaking story of survival after the apocalypse. We’re still not sure who Amelia is, but there’s some interesting visual clues, and the plot moves ahead dramatically by the last page, with a riveting and, it has to be said, devastating climax.

Also, I have to give a shout out to the beautiful, if bleak, cover. In fact, the artwork throughout, by Gwynn Tavares, is definitely worthy of note; it has a painterly look with a muted colour scheme, and it gives the entire comic a brilliantly detailed, oppressive atmosphere.

On the strength of these first two issues alone, I have no hesitation in recommending Amelia Sky; you can buy issue 2 from Amazon here.

Many thanks to Jermaine Boyd for sending me a digital copy of Amelia Sky #2 for review purposes.
