A.D. After Death, Book Two has two main timelines. The earlier of the two takes place in the years leading up to the end of death, when Jonah Cooke is an art thief, working for a mysterious figure known as R'Overknight. While working his cover job, he meets R'Overknight in person. In the later of the two timelines, Jonah and Errant Knight/R'Overknight are living in the ninth century, After Death. Jonah works high up in the mountains, where he looks for signs of life in the wastelands. When he receives signals from below, he tells Errant that he's going to go back down there, in search of his long-lost wife.
It's been a while since I've been fortunate enough to see Jeff Lemire's art. I've read his main work, Essex County, along with his first comic, the name of which escapes me. Usually he does the writing while someone else does the art, in the case of his D.C., Marvel, and even Image Comics work. For this collection, Scott Snyder writes the words, and Jeff Lemire does the artwork. Like Book One, this is about an hour's read. There's a lot of prose text with illustrations rather than just comics.
