New London by James Tynion IV, Michael Dialynas
My Rating: ★★★★
Now that the inhabitants of Bay Point High School are aware they are probably stuck far away from home, they are faced with surviving in an entirely new world. The good news is that they aren’t alone, and that there’s an entire community that’s been thriving for some time. Unfortunately for all involved, there are sinister forces at play in and out of that community.
This volume really hit the ground running. We’re still following the same characters, but now there’s a whole new community introduced, and we get to see that the general population of it isn’t so bad. New London is thriving, and it all seems rosy on the surface, but like anything, it holds some secrets that are far from friendly.
One of the things I enjoyed about this volume is that we got to learn about how New London came to be, and who was once talking to the stones the same way Adrian is. It’ll be interesting to see how this pans out. There’s a reason someone or something has been bringing people to this place every so often. I think it’ll be interesting to eventually find out what that reason is and how the characters will eventually get to that point.
I’m extremely interested in seeing how the story pans out. I like that we’re starting to follow some of the new characters that have been introduced, so I’m excited to see what’s in store for them as well. I think the likelihood that we’ll find out what’s going on back on Earth is slim, but it’d be interesting to see a glimpse of that if it were to happen. I will say all those flashbacks from the previous volume are really starting to pay off, so I feel a lot less iffy about them now.
