Book Description

Publication Date: August 8, 2006

From the heart of today's animation industry in E-Ville, California, new energy is pumped into the soul of the comics world with Afterworks 2! Presented here is pure passion on the page, stories too personal to be told in any other medium than comics, stories that touch a nerve and charm the soul. From fact based accounts of Falluja missile strikes to reinterpretations of classic myth, from Tokyo excursions to flights of fantasy, from brawlers to the Devil to hopelessly romantic musicians, this is untainted storytelling that will be pulled off your shelf and reread time and again.

This review is from: Afterworks Volume 2 (v. 2) (Paperback)

Above all else the artwork in Afterworks is to die for and completely original. Every style is different, while also maintaining a clean and professional work. The stories within are a mixed bunch, but most are great and worthwhile reads.

The only downfall of this is that a given story only lasts 5 to 15 pages, leaving you hanging and wanting more. Specifically the first story especially, which builds up a renegade hero who does a deal with a mafia type organization. If this were a scene in a movie it would have been 5 minutes...and as we all know just watching the first 5 pulse pounding minutes of a movie is a real tease.

Besides this though the book is well worth the money, and could complament a great coffee table.

I shouldn't really compare between anthologies, but when lined up against Flight, the narratives in Afterworks 2 come up substatially wanting. Some of the artwork, while gorgeous for art's sake, doesn't come quite up to scratch in my eyes.
