Eden's Fall, Issue #2 begins with a story about a medieval knight who kills a dragon despite being told not to kill the dragon by his king. He is stripped of his name and his legacy. The woman telling this story is Laura Shiffron, the mayor of Eden, Wyoming, and she tells FBI agent James Miller that she wants him to murder Thornton, the right wing extremist from The Tithe, Volume 2. The catch? He can't use a gun, and Thornton is a very dangerous character.
This comic didn't end the way I expected it to end. In fact, I expected to read Issue #3 tomorrow morning, but I'm excited to see how this series ends, and I might read it tonight. The artwork is lovely, a bit more realistic than most comic-book art. Except for the last few pages, this is a very dialogue heavy issue but not burdeningly so. I particularly liked the general's monologue to Dr. David Loren.
