Low Volume 2: Before the Dawn Burns Us
Low Volume 2: Before the Dawn Burns Us | Rick Remender
12 posts | 16 read | 1 to read
In the far future, a time when the sun's radioactive expansion has forced mankind to seek refuge in the deepest part of the ocean, and with little hope of survival, the fate of the Cain family is inevitably and tragically tied to that of our dying world. Stel Cain, the eternal optimist, has begun a perilous journey from the depths of the sea to the surface to intercept a deep-space probe, returned to earth with the location of an inhabitable planet, that mankind could escape to. But there is another Cain in the deep: Stel's long-lost daughter Della, who has grown up to be a Hope Hunter, seeker and destroyer of all things that would instill in people a false sense of hope, distractions from life's grim reality. When Della hears of the probe, the ultimate symbol of hope, she sets her courses to the surface as well, to destroy the beacon...and any who would seek to share its light.

Volume 2 provided more background and moved the story forward. Loved the mermaid bloodsuckers, and the blatant 1984 homage in having a ministry of thought. But I‘m still not sold on the story and find Stel to be kind of annoying.

I was pleasantly surprised by this series. I wasn't sure if I would like it, but so far I've read two volumes and I've enjoyed them both. Can't wait to see what happens next.

TK421 I really liked volume 1! I haven't read volume 2 yet. I'm waiting for the graphic novel read a thon this weekend. 7y
Clwojick @TK421 I was going to wait, but I have soooo many GNs out from the library for the marathon, that I decided to read it early. 😆 I just made a post asking ppl to share a pic of their #TBRstack for the marathon! 7y

Second book was an even quicker read then the first. Really into this series.

Was a little confused by the first issue in this volume and then rapidly back on board. Really good, and if you're going to read this series, I recommend having all three volumes on hand so you can keep rolling! Onto number 3!

Going to try to knock out a few graphic novels before my mini vacation. Trying to whittle down the towering stack from the library before I leave. Continuing a series I started and trying out a new one

Low lays it on a little thick with its philosophy of optimism, but with art this gorgeous, who cares? Vol 2 adds more underwater future cultures for us to ogle, including a Red-Russian dystopia of fur hats, mech-bears, and a ministry of thought that tortures artists for attempting to inspire hope in the masses. There's also mer-vampires and the promise of an anti-mammal hive culture that has the probe Stel's seeking!

So I found this drawing a friend of mine made being used as a bookmark in my copy of Low volume 2. It reminded me of the convo about the Pokemon card that lives in the Silmarillion on my coffee table. The things our books carry.

So good, so sad, so full of hope. Some of the most beautiful art I've ever seen.
